message: Perhaps people in search of Irrational Games might appreciate a disambiguation one-liner at the top of this article? Just a thought.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.187.191 (talk) 14:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Growth of article over time

message: The section in this article where it says, "belief in the supernatural without evidence" could conflict with religious beliefs, and should either be removed, or reworded. (Not to say that I have any religious views, but others may find it offensive; I don't). Exothermic Reaction (talk) 22:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now you're being irrational. If "belief in the supernatural without evidence" is irrational, then it should be listed, irrespective of whether it offends those who don't want to see anything that disagrees with their views. Would you say that belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a supernatural entity without evidence, is rational? Don't consider "religious" opinions to be any more sacred than philosophical or political opinions. --131.111.8.96 (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm in the middle of Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational and I'm beginning to recognize its influence in college and university documents.  I'm not the person, but I hope someone can add a section on how "irrationality" (as a method) seems to be becoming the next big subject matter for colleges and universities. -- kosboot (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

isn't that pretty much synonymous with irrationality?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RowanEvans (talk • contribs) 20:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religion 

message: This article is a good start as the body covers a concise yet inclusive gamut of irrationality.  The introduction, however, is not reflective of the body.  The first sentence of the intro works as a concise overview, but the second, longer, paragraph focuses on the pajoritive use of the term.  Not only is this focus not at all reflected in the body of the entry, I would argue it is not even the most intersting aspect of the concept from a philosophical or psycological point of view.  And, since this article is part of the Philosophy WikiProject, I would suggest that someone knowledgable in the field redo the intro to reflect this focus.  The pajoritive aspect of the term could have a heading in the body of the article; but, since a quick sampling of dictionary definitions doesn't mention this aspect of the term, I don't believe it belongs in the intro.  
Again, the body is a great start.  I think the intro should reflect that body in nature and quality.  Thanks to anyone in the field of philo or psych willing to augment.

thread_title: Is this a sentence?

message: The first two sources deal with male vs female and "feminist standpoint research". While the opening lines are written fairly generally, the sources seem oddly specific to a topic that doesn't summarize the entire topic.

message: I removed the following sentence from Irrationality#Irrationalist:
There is a long history of rational argumentation in Hindu philosophy and Buddhist philosophy, so this sentence would need elaboration and qualification to avoid being misleading, if not false. Biogeographist (talk) 13:19, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
