Broken references edit

Hi @Epicgenius: are you able to correct the referencing errors you've introduced to this page? "NYCL p. 5" and "NYCL (2011) p. 3" are undefined. Maybe they're meant to be references to the "Manufacturers Trust Company Building" document that you've added, but I can't seem to verify the references. There's no mention of a 68-foot limit, and 510-514 Fifth Avenue isn't described in that document. -- Mikeblas (talk) 22:09, 21 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mikeblas, thanks for the catch. The references were copied from the Manufacturers Trust Company Building article, but my edit apparently copied the footnote as well. The reference there says "In consequence, any building erected on this corner could not exceed 68 feet – the height of 508 Fifth Avenue." The reason 510-514 Fifth Avenue aren't referenced there is because it is actually referenced in the source as "508-514 Fifth Avenue". epicgenius (talk) 23:17, 21 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
