Orphaned references in BFR (rocket)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of BFR (rocket)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ars20160918":

From ITS launch vehicle: although in an AMA on Reddit on Oct 23, 2016, Musk stated, "I think we need a new name. ITS just isn't working. I'm using BFR and BFS for the rocket and spaceship, which is fine internally, but...", without stating what the new name might be. Berger, Eric (2016-09-18).

From Interplanetary Transport System: Berger, Eric (September 18, 2016). "Elon Musk scales up his ambitions, considering going "well beyond" Mars". Ars Technica. Retrieved September 19, 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:09, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Old Rocket/New Article?

While I appreciate the notion of this rocket showing up in Wikipedia, the name BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) has been kicking around for quite some time and even the rocket itself is pretty much the same thing that was unveiled in the 2016 IAC meeting by Elon Musk last year. It is the ITS with just a minor name change and an updated design. From that perspective, why does the lead sentence suggest it is something that was unveiled... basically today? --Robert Horning (talk) 07:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
