Two of the five pillars which disruptive editors, and even good faith newcomers, often either intentionally disregard or are not familiar with. Vandalism or mistaken edits or edits that appear to possibly be test edits or are improper or improperly formatted in some way can result. (The other three pillars are also important and are in the general links below.)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are.

Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view: We strive for articles that document and explain the major points of view, giving due weight with respect to their prominence in an impartial tone. We avoid advocacy and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others, we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is on living persons. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong.

Robert Frodeman is former Professor and former Chair, Dept of Philosophy and Religion, University of North Texas, previously at the University of Colorado, and Director of UNT's Center for the Study of Interdisciplinarity.

Education[edit]

Frodeman attended St. Louis University, where he gained degrees in History and Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University, where he obtained a Ph.D. in Philosophy (1988), studying with Stanley Rosen and Alphonso Lingis, and the University of Colorado, where he then obtained a M.S. degree in Geology (1996). From 1993 to 2001 he consulted for the US Geological Survey on questions of science policy.

Academic career[edit]

His research focuses on environmental philosophy and public policy and the theory and practice of interdisciplinary research and education. The UNT PhD program in Philosophy that he directed emphasizes 'field' approaches to philosophy where philosophers work with scientists, engineers, and policy makers.

Frodeman works in the areas of environmental ethics and environmental philosophy, the philosophy of geology, the philosophy of science policy, and the philosophy of interdisciplinarity, and has written an extensive body of peer-reviewed academic work in these areas. He emphasizes the role that philosophy can play in addressing ongoing societal controversies such as acid mine drainage, global climate change, and Hurricane Katrina. His most recent work focuses on the use and abuse of knowledge for social amelioration, a topic that has come to be known as critical university studies. Frodeman is also part of a growing movement known as 'field philosophy' where philosophers emphasize working with scientists, engineers, and policy makers rather than an extensive focus on writing and working with other philosophers (e.g., Brister and Frodeman, 2020).

Frodeman is also the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity (2010), second edition 2017.

Sexual Harassment Allegations[edit]

In 2018, Frodeman became the subject of a Title IX investigation after multiple faculty members alleged that he had sexually harassed them.[1] The allegations reached as far back as 2006, when Frodeman was accused of harassing a graduate student in his department.
