The statistics given in first paragraph of 25,000 deaths do not match the 20,000 deaths given in the main article about the eruption. 68.156.93.130 (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This year was Univisons 25th anniversery. They have the video. The girl was very relaxed and calm in the water. I do believe they tied whatever was keeping her down to a crane and the rope broke. They interview her grandmother about the whole ordeal for the special. It is a famous video. You got to also remember that everyhing was in ruins and even roads were probably closed off to several of the survivors.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.136.187 (talk) 02:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  If I remember correctly 

message: The article has a couple of spellings of the girl's name, even differing between the title and the first sentence. Can we officially establish Omayra or Omaira? 173.17.242.102 (talk) 05:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: LOL it is the picture that makes the article.  without the picture the article would be not as effective, and no one would care.  Seems just like wikipedia to go and try to fuck it up.  --1sneakers6 (talk) 09:29, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Why did the article use her first name rather than her family name? --John (talk) 08:46, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: See Brianboulton's suggestions at the peer review. "Perhaps, as this is a child, stick to 'Omayra' rather than the rather formal 'Sanchez'." ceranthor 13:28, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. Brian is usually spot-on but I strongly disagree with this and amended the article accordingly. I have never seen any policy or MoS guidance that recommends writing more informally about a child than about an adult. --John (talk) 13:19, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
