I am very excited by this discovery, looking forward to the expanded historical/cultural knowledge. Wondering what influence this may have on Intellectual Property law and politics. Congratulations to the authors! Richard Sidler 13:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardsidler (talkcontribs)

From the front page:

In Denmark, the discovery of "The Tallow Candle", a previously unknown story by author Hans Christian Andersen (pictured), is confirmed.

Note that the news is about the confirmation that the discovery is genuine. Not about the discovery itself.

However, there is nothing in the actual article regarding this last bit, the confirmation process. Who confirmed the find? Are there any lingering doubts the author might be somebody else than HCA? Where are the references?

This story is in the news recently, which is why it was posted. See [1] and [2] for some recent sources. Perhaps you can find something there to help you. --Jayron32 06:17, 15 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps part of the genius of Anderson was that he carried in writing like an imaginative bright 15 -year old. Proxima Centauri (talk) 10:36, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
