Mis-spelling
editThe book title of reference 1 is misspelled. I don not know how to edit it. Can someone please correct it? 218.161.70.252 (talk) 05:49, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Done, thanks for mentioning it. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 06:46, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

editI'm looking at this page for Fallacy, and am looking at the page for Formal fallacy, and have no idea what the difference is. Aren't they referring to the same thing so should be merged? If there's a difference, what is it? BritishWikipedian (talk) 16:09, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Third paragraph of the lead:
Fallacies are commonly divided into "formal" and "informal." A formal fallacy is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument that renders the argument invalid, while an informal fallacy originates in an error in reasoning other than an improper logical form. Arguments containing informal fallacies may be formally valid, but still fallacious.
