:instead of what we currently have. But we don't usually say that the DWU is ''wrong'' per se. (I've been corrected on this myself, so I understand the tendency to want to say this.)

:: This is all quite a confusing situation, but if the TV hat ''isn't'' a stovepipe hat, then what evidence do we have that "the Doctor's stovepipe hat" described in ''[[The Murder Game (novel)|The Murder Game]]'' and ''[[Wonderland (novel)|Wonderland]]'' is the same hat? Couldn't it be that the Second Doctor's Paris Beau hat (identified as such through the same rule which allows us to say a blender is a blender) simply does not appear in those stories, which instead "mistakenly" posit that the Doctor owned a different, stovepipe hat?--[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:11, July 18, 2020 (UTC) | :: This is all quite a confusing situation, but if the TV hat ''isn't'' a stovepipe hat, then what evidence do we have that "the Doctor's stovepipe hat" described in ''[[The Murder Game (novel)|The Murder Game]]'' and ''[[Wonderland (novel)|Wonderland]]'' is the same hat?

:::You know, you're not exactly inspiring any confidence in me in the current rendition of [[T:NO RW]]. And given the issues I've pointed out with the in article text of blender pages at [[Thread:272817]], I guess it does raise an open question as to whether "in the real world" these two types of hats would be similar enough to be listed in the same article, or if we're violating [[T:NPOV]] in some way by prioritizing visual or non visual media.
