That isn't valid. Perhaps you should learn what 'valid' actually means 
before you attempt to "correct" the definition.

[Also, the above isn't even an argument. It is simply a conditional 
statement. It has no conclusion].

And that differs from the standard definition how exactly? Unless you 
have some special personal meaning for 'necessary consequence' it would 
appear to be simply a paraphrase of the definition you cite above.
