I would agree that this should be combined with "Spurious Relationship", as this page only recites a different version (with a few extra comments) on the ice cream example mentioned in "Spurious Relationship: General Example". It might also work to change "General Example" to "Joint Effect", and insert the text from "Joint Effect" in its place.
Agreed. The "joint effect" article is clearly redundant.
