De-Construct.Net
This website is repeatedly cited in the article, but I don't see why it should be considered a reliable source. It appears to be some kind of extremist (pro-Serbian?) political website - it has an image depicting Barrack Obama as satan on its front page along with an article calling Vladamir Putin "a true statesman and the greatest leader the world has seen since World War II" for instance, and provides no information I can see on the credentials of the people who write for it.

- I concur, this is an unacceptable source, and needs to be replaced before the article can be considered B-class or better. Parsecboy (talk) 14:45, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

- de-construct.net is still being used as a reference to one sentence. (Hohum @) 14:10, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Nothing cited to this website seemed controversial, but if it is indeed some kind of extremist website, I guess we should not be using it. Please list removed claims here, so that others can try to find more reliable refs for them. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 17:19, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

1999? Or 1998?
I've read various secondary sources that state this aircraft was shot down in March 1999, but I remember it in the news and where I was when I saw the footage, and I was only there in early 1998. Am I having a "senior moment"? Evets70 (talk) 16:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
