Facundo Cabral
De sus huesos harán astillas.
Su sangre corrérá como
arroyo hasta las ciénagas.
Su voz subirá hasta el
coro dulce de estrellas.
Retornando en alas de su ejemplo,
renacerá en los pechos de Abel.
En su tumba nacerá una luz de Paz.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tormenta de ideas y «Meinungsbild» sobre política de sanciones
Hola. Te envío este mensaje porque, en algún momento de los dos últimos años, has participado en el café en debates relacionados con la posible modificación y regulación de la política de sanciones del proyecto. En Wikipedia:Café/Archivo/Propuestas/Actual#Meinungsbild hay ahora mismo en marcha una tormenta de ideas en la que el usuario Ecelan se ha comprometido a revisar, resumir y juntar en una estructura que pueda servir de base para el debate las aportaciones que se le envíen de forma pública o privada y que respondan a la pregunta «Si redactaras una política de sanciones completamente a tu gusto ¿que aspecto tendría?».
Un saludo y mis disculpas si, por la razón que fuese, ya no tuvieras interés en éste tema.--Fremen (discusión) 06:48 24 nov 2014 (UTC)
