Talk:The Star Thrower

Corrective actions - in progress - please contribute
WORK SCHEDULE


 * 1) create wikiquote page.
 * 2) cleanup the wikiquote page, by including information from the cleanup hints in help-box   
 * 3) the long quotes from the wikipedia page will be moved over to Wikiquote
 * 4) Add play-button--video-depicting-of-long-spoons-allegory.jpg from folder: Google Drive\rsync-Gdrv\Ref\todos-wiki
 * 5) the summaries of the quotes will be agreed on the wikipedia talk page.
 * 6) Finally, those summaries will be put on the wikipedia page, and so Wikipedia and Wikiquote will not have any duplicated text.  (Which they currently have, while work is in progress).

WORK COMPLETED, SO FAR


 * Wikiquote page creation: DONE.
 * cleanup - DONE: added more quotes, correctly formatted with dates, Cquote template, author, title and page number.
 * long quotes - DONE: created on wikiquote.

Summaries of quotes
I have created the The Star Thrower page for the full-length quotes to be moved over to.

Below we can work on summaries of the current quotes on the current page.

The young man and the starfish thrower discuss why he is collecting the starfish

Above is just an incomplete starting point (work-in-progress), please help with summaries, thanks! CathMontgomery (talk) 10:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Proposal
I propose adding the text below as an example adaptation.

Source
I have this version in printed form, but this version is not posted on the internet anywhere to link to. CathMontgomery (talk) 14:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Placement on the [The Star Thrower] page
 The story could go at the end of the adaptations section, and if more version are added, then they could be split into a separate page? CathMontgomery (talk) 14:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Main page: [The Star Thrower]

As adapted
The parable has inspired charitable works in
 * humanitarian crisis
 * providing a compelling vision
 * building records of achievement
 * unique charitable approaches, such as the Starfish Charity dinner party campaign

This version of the story was used by the Starfish Charity in 2003.
