In both the Wikipedia examples Alice's argument was wrong though lol

No, Alice’s argument was fallacious. Whether her conclusion was true or false is not clear from her argument.

They were unsound, due to the use of fallacy, but that doesn't mean they were untrue. Ginger might've been a cat, and Alice might've been English. The truthfulness of the argument has no bearing on the soundness of the argument (and vice versa)

Phallusy fallacy: You're wrong because you're a d--k.
