Help needed with History of logic post-WWII

The article History of logic has been nominated for a featured article here. The nominating editor has asked for help concerning the post-WWII period (see this post). Any assistant would be appreciated

Request for input in discussion forum

Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)

Invitation to comment at Monty Hall problem RfC

You are invited to comment on the following RfC:

Talk:Monty Hall problem#Conditional or Simple solutions for the Monty Hall problem?

The Monty Hall problem is an especially interesting one because it touches upon logic, probability, and psychology; why do so many engineers, scientists and mathematicians get it wrong at first? The question the RfC asks concerns the place conditional probability should have in the Monty Hall problem article. We could really use some informed opinions on this. --Guy Macon (talk) 01:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Apex fallacy

This article is nominated for deletion and there are claims it does not qualify as a logical fallacy. I am wondering if someone who is more familiar with what is and is not logical fallacy (like the definition of it, and if this concept applies or not) could clarify whether or not it is.

I am wondering if this might be an incarnation of an existing fallacy? In which case I could see moving to change it to a redirect to an existing page rather than having its own article. I just know too little about the breadth of different logical fallacies and their categories to recognize whether or not this is covered by an existing kind we have a page about.
