Last year I uploaded a 737-800 photo to the database. Later I noticed that the version under that photo says "Boeing 737-800", so I tried to correct the information to "Boeing 737-89P". However, after several trials, screeners never accepted my request.
The photo is here:

In 2016, Boeing announced that they would no longer apply customer codes to any aircraft produced after a certain point, which would lead to their designators being the "generic" type for the model. The codes were removed from the type certificates for each model with effect from the production line number shown below:
Boeing 737 Next Generation: line number 6082
Boeing P-8 Poseidon: line number 6020
Boeing 747-8: line number 1534
Boeing 767: line number 1102
Boeing 777: line number 1422Then I realized why the screener never accepted my request on correcting my 738 photo, because the l/n of the plane is after 6082.
What made me confused is, yesterday I tried to correct the version info for some photos of Emirates 77W A6-EPQ l/n 1423 (The first 3 photos in the page displayed "Boeing 777-31H/ER", which are technically wrong. The last 3 displayed "Boeing 777-300/ER" correctly.), the screener changed all "Boeing 777-300/ER" to "Boeing 777-31H/ER" instead...
Here's the link:
https://www.airliners.net/search?manufac ... lay=detailMy friend told me the solution that Planesspotters.net has is to still keep the codes on all 737NG, 748, 767 and 777 produced after certain l/n numbers. Obviously, A.net has some conflicts here. So what's the guideline for those planes on A.net?
