===A. C. Santacruz’s behavior===
*While I’m aware of [[WP:2WRONGS]], examples of instances of improper behavior by A.C.Santacruz are needed for context; she is a named party here and thus part of the scope. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism_and_coordinated_editing&diff=1067342403&oldid=1067342329]
*This started with a disagreement with A.C.Santacruz on the [[Sharon A. Hill]] article between her and three other editors, including me. Her edit concerned a large, seemingly unjustified deletion of a large block of text with 11 citations.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sharon_A._Hill&diff=1057018470&oldid=1055570570&diffmode=source] Confronted with the resistance to her deletion attempt, A.C.Santacruz then "investigated" me, took it to ANI[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#User:Rp2006] with a COI (should be SELFSITE) allegation, and attempted to OUT ([[WP:DOX]]) me. When I reported this violation to WP administration, they purged her posts. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sharon_A._Hill&diff=1060655895&oldid=1060654317]
*But the damage was done. Before the purge, many read her posted info, which resulted in my (assumed) IRL identity being assumed as accurate, and openly discussed on at least one website. [https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12429] Note that just 1 of the 11 citations involved alleged SelfCite material, which, in any case, another editor had added to the article long ago. This seems to have snowballed into claims that I generally engage in SELFCITING, and also have COIs with most anyone ever affiliated with CSI, (skeptics and scientists), and perhaps even the broader scientific/skeptic movement by extension. (See claims made by others here.) ▼

(See claims made by others here.)
*Her claims of contrition for the “unintentional” OUTING seems questionable due to her harassment of me on my Talk page, including another OUTING attempt. (“the article that started this whole mess says Hill thanked him for an edit on her page”) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard?diff=prev&oldid=1063983684&diffmode=source] ▼
▲*Her claims of contrition for the “unintentional” OUTING seems questionable due to her harassment of me on my Talk page, including anothera second OUTING attempt. (“the article that started this whole mess says Hill '''thanked him ''' for an edit on her page”) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard?diff=prev&oldid=1063983684&diffmode=source]
*She justified her actions based on my lack of ‘taking proper precautions’: “How is it my fault they didn't take proper precautions before deciding to base the overwhelming majority of their edits in articles … I will never know.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A._C._Santacruz&diff=1060686858&oldid=1060686488]
*Inappropriate behavior regarding the admin response: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sharon_A._Hill&diff=next&oldid=1060656391]
*She asked questions on my Talk page she characterized as "friendly," but which were in reality threateningnot: "I'm being friendly and giving Rp an opportunity to disclose his association willingly before taking another route."[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rp2006&oldid=1063639958#On_Hill talk page] An admin responded, calling this “creepy” plus "There is no planet on which these questions would be regarded as friendly".[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rp2006&diff=1063489333&oldid=1063488436]
*TheHer demand for editors (including me) to respond to her quickly, showing lack of consideration for other editors' WP availability, seems a pattern of behavior, which she has misrepresented.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A._C._Santacruz&diff=next&oldid=1060576589&diffmode=source] For example, there was her opening and closing of two RFCs in 1 and 4 days respectively (over major holidays), plus her dismissal of thethis concern when it was pointed out to her in relation to other articles. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:A._C._Santacruz?vanarticle=User%20talk%3ARp2006&noautowarn=true&vanarticlerevid=1060663371#Closure_of_%22RFC:_Should_the_websites_she_surveyed_be_described_as_%22anti-trans%22_in_the_lead?%22]
*Repeated accusations made over a typo, and literal interpretations of figures of speech:
:*Accused me of “misgendering” her over a one timesingle typo (I typed “he” vs “'''s'''he” once, and had used “she” or “they” in all other instances). [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rp2006&diff=1060663371&oldid=1058505691]
:*Accused an editor of calling her an ape over the expression “went ape over it”, and accused another of calling her a hound because she waswhen accused of [[WP:HOUNDING]]. (See "...calling me an ape and a hound...")[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Taner_Edis&diff=1056847618&oldid=1056845568]
===Response to A. C. Santacruz evidence===
*Alleged “statement conflicts with paid-en-wp evidence” and a friendship with the Sharon Hill are false. Is my denial somehow evidence of guilt?[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rp2006?diff=prev&oldid=1063549890&diffmode=source]
*Claimed that functionary indicated “receiving credible evidence privately indicating Rp2006 has been making COI edits.” What is this evidence? Do I get to discuss or dispute the instances before they are deemed “credible”? Such evidence was not presented to me. Also “...has been making…”? is broad. Which other edits supposedly involve COIs?[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism_and_coordinated_editing/Evidence&oldid=1066273958#Rp2006_has_not_disclosed_COI(s)_affecting_his_editing]
*Canvassing accusation: I thought it was proper to post on a concerned WikiProject. I did so inat the only one I was a member of. I now knowunderstand that all tagged projects need to be notified, soand will do so going in the futureforward.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rp2006&diff=1058501362&oldid=1056651297]
===Response to Geogene evidence===
*Regarding “A fresh COI edit by Rp2006”: I do not believe I have a COI with Robert Bartholomew, but if one existed, there would be nothing wrong with suggesting on a Talk page thethat TV news interview of Bartholomew (along with another topic expert) as a relevant citation for the article. Presenting this as “advocating” for a person completely misrepresents the situation. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Havana_syndrome&diff=1067295586&oldid=1067125094]
*Plus, following and commenting ontracking my “fresh” edits is evidence of [[WP:HOUNDING]] which is, defined as “following the target from place to place on Wikipedia.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism_and_coordinated_editing/Evidence&diff=next&oldid=1067488719]
===Response to Bilby evidence===
===Response to ScottishFinnishRadish evidence===
*I was unaware ofthe BLP rules applied to userspace, but have now reviewed the guidelines. I believe that the descriptions I had used can be backed-up by material from the associated articles, but I have changed to less controversial descriptions anyway, and will be more careful in userspace.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Rp2006&diff=1066575229&oldid=1066574904&diffmode=source][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Rp2006&diff=1066576718&oldid=1066575857&diffmode=source][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Rp2006&diff=1066574904&oldid=1066569173&diffmode=source]
*YouRegarding your complained here that “[he] calls DS/alert template harrassment.”harrassment”: I have edited BLPs extensively for years, but the first time anyone ever slappedadded this Warning onto my page was in real-time during a dispute on the [[Thomas John (medium)]] page (as an ANI was in progress). Ironically I am the originator of this article. In context it seemed thisthe intent was done to scare me awayoff, and thus win the edit argument. When challenged I was told it was just SOP. DidI did not observe the several editors onrepresenting the other side of thisthe argument add thethis templatewarning to one another’s pages? Guess.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rp2006&diff=1064633511&oldid=1064525606&diffmode=source]
===Conclusion===
*I was only able to address a portion of the evidence, but must note that it has been gathered by people going through my large body of work to find things to present negative things in support of their own POV. This is the epitome of [[Cherry picking]]. The targeted examples areused were selected from the 13,200+ edits made over 6 years. This involves 1,880+ pages, ~67% in article space, with ~90% being still “live”. [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Rp2006]
*My work includes writing two BLP Good Articles: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rp2006#My_two_%22Good_Articles%22], and in all I have created 7 articles from scratch, and substantially rewrote ~20 others.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rp2006#My_most_significant_articles] Six ran as DYKs in 4 separate years.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rp2006#My_six_DYK_articles]
*I have not been previously blocked/banned, and avoid admin issues and /debates, preferring to spend my time actually improving and creating articles. In fact, I think this represents my first involvement with ArbCom, ANI or any other admin action since I created an account in 2006.
*When these facts are considered, I hope it is determined that an admin action against my WP account would be a net deficit to the WP project.
