Your recent editing history at Killing of Alex Pretti shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page's content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please stop editing the page and use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution such as a third opinion. In some cases, you may wish to request page protection while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.
If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, or whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule— if things indicate that you intend to continue reverting content on the page.

- Your talk archive is very long. Are you aware of the 2 contentious topics that apply to this article? Mikewem (talk) 16:27, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- WP:DTTR. See also notice at top. Gain consensus for the content or don't. It doesn't matter to me. But nit picking and templating aren't helping you make any headway in that direction. GMGtalk 16:39, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- DS is kinda sorta different from CT, or maybe it’s not, but I guess this could work for WP:AWARE. Could you just clarify and say whether or not you actively choose to ignore CT? Mikewem (talk) 17:07, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) GMG's notice -even in image form- would extend to CTOP. I would also like to point out that you seem to be displaying a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality here and would advise you to tone it down a bit. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 17:20, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- If someone behaves as a matter of course in a way that would get them blocked from CTOP articles, and only puts on their best behavior for subjects where it's easier to get blocked, then that person is a jerkwad. So yes. I am aware and I choose to ignore them. GMGtalk 17:34, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
