Talk:The Snowman (fairy tale)

Disputed
Per Sockpuppet investigations/ItsLassieTime‎, the offline sources used in this article need be verified to ensure they both exist and to verify they say what is claimed. Sockpuppet who created the article has long history of being untruthful, and are known for their almost exclusive use of offline resources that would generally just be taken on good faith.-- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 15:08, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Five books are used to source the article. I've confirmed all exist by searches on WorldCat.org and Google Books, only correcting one obvious typo on an ISBN. Selecting key words from cited article text, I tried searching on those terms in respective gbook previews. In all of those, although largely 'snippet views', the result was sources backed up the cited content.
 * It is true the sockpuppet in question has a history of being untruthful in regard to claiming innocent familial links between socks, etc.; but, as far as I'm aware there's not evidence any untruthfulness encroached on article content or misattributed material to references. Naturally, I do not condone their conduct. Of particular note, a discussion arising when a sock of the user was blocked previously led to the as-yet-unreviewed GA nomination being quickfailed. Ensuing disagreement led to an experienced user obtainining the sources used and taking it through a review. This comment of theirs is notable. Their reviewer ultimately passed that article. While normally gbook previews are of limited help in such verification, taken in conjunction with the previously-linked comment the body of evidence indication is that the article content is valid. I haven't removed the article dispute tag; the above though reflects my view. –Whitehorse1 01:36, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Inspiration for Olaf???
This story is about a snowman who falls develops a romantic interest in a stove which his friend, the dog, says will melt him.

Disney's Frozen, loosely based on Andersen's The Snow Queen, features Olaf, a living snowman with an affinity for heat, unaware that it could potentially kill him.

Since both stories are based on Hans Christian Andersen stories, could it be possible that The Snowman helped to inspire Olaf?

This article barely has any information.
Hi!

It looks like the copyright edits culminated in an article, that consists of two short paragraphs, structurally unrelated to each other (and one of those is completely devoid of context, which makes the whole thing look rather bizarre), can someone smart do something about it?
