OR Notes
[edit]Boeing has press contacts listed, out of whom I selected Paul Bergman. Bergman is listed as the contact for commercial airplanes inquiries, which seems a large and difficult task for one man to shoulder. I've reached out with the following:
Hello Paul,
I'm working on coverage of the accident in Karaj, Iran. It has been described as a cargo flight operated by a 707 freighter, but the airline is described as using 707 only for passengers (or not at all) and it very clearly has rows of windows like a passenger jet.
AV Herald gives a tail number of EP-CPP. I was wondering if you have any records that might indicate what configuration this jet was originally built in. I appreciate I'm asking a lot; it's a remarkably old aircraft these days. I'm grateful for any assistance you may have available.
Thank you for your time,
[Me]
We'll see if Boeing can assist in clearing this up. BRS (Talk) (Contribs) 22:47, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Got the following reply:
Hi Iain,

(To be clear, I don't suggest it would be wise to add a statement supplied today to an article dated yesterday; but, keeping it here for use in future.) BRS (Talk) (Contribs) 18:03, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Blood Red Sandman: Well, the article was published at 2030 UTC yesterday, so there's just over an hour in the 24-hour window. I'd been wondering whether the rule against adding a source dated after our date of publication would apply to OR after our date of publication; I'm just not sure how much of that is substance and how much is appearance. --Pi zero (talk) 19:28, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Realistically, I guess the question might be: "Would we need to change the article date?" In this case, perhaps not. BRS (Talk) (Contribs) 19:37, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
