The article on BBC news site is misleading, and the consecuences show in the wikipedia article, because the city of Pasto has never been evacuated. The only evacuation done was in certain places around the volcano, near the city. Only 9.400 people were actually evacuated. The Pasto population is 400.000, so it is really out of the line to say that the city has been evacuated. News article related on wikinews (spanish)
[edit] Eruption on 14 January 1993
Bias in this section stems from the fact that it easy to predict an eruption in retrospect. It needs to be completely re-written, complete with citations to claims that Stanley Williams put peoples' lives in danger because this is a serious allegation.
Parts of this section have been pulled from factually inaccurate sentences in the Time article, e.g. measurements had been taken for years, it was not because there was a conference. It is also confusing, e.g. if the volcano has been active for over a million years, it cannot also have been dormant prior to the eruption. JVC (talk) 11:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
