You can message them in your own words. If that doesn't work, report them here.

Outside of work names which use italics and songs/episodes that have quotation marks, people generally only use italics for emphasis, though see How to Write an Example - all three forms should not be used at once.

I sent them a message regarding the issue and others I noticed in their edits (notably all black/white spoiler entries, capitalizing common words, etc). Nothing that can't be fixed, and this way they will be noticed of some rules they may not be aware of.

Thank you Piterpicher

... Huh... I'm not sure the troper in question has taken into account what I wrote to them (or at least partially). They didn't answer my message, they put back spoiler tags and reintroduced a Zero-Context Example that I edited out (with no edit reason) in the characters page of the Muted webcomic, and they seem to continue to make completely white/black spoiler entries in the Lore Olympus pages they participate in. I did notice them removing italics in one of their last entry.

Obviously I can't edit again the Zero context Big Bad entry they put back without engaging into a Edit War. Some of their latest entries (the Animal Motifs ones) are also quite succinct.

The troper in question is RosieQuartzie97m, and another troper seems to agree with me and also reverted one of their edit on Lore Olympus (general character page).

Don't exactly want to escalate that, but maybe some help from other tropers may be necessary? Because I think we might have an issue here, and at the very least some of the pages they participated in will need a clean-up to remove the SHOUTING.

Their edit history.

And they both originally added some of the ZC Es and then readded them when they were commented out. They're now edit warring.

They apparently answered Cutegirl920fire (see this different query) who told them to look at Ask The Tropers, among other things. I kinda hope they will show up here and that we will be able to talk things out. They seem to be new, so maybe just giving them a few pointers and having them clean up their own mistakes would be enough.

Sent them a ZCE notifier with a Edit War addendum and the link to this query.

Speaking very generally, I think all-caps should be avoided if there is no obvious reason for them. If you ask "Why is that in caps?" and you can't figure it out, it probably should be changed to lowercase.

I've removed a couple more cases of "SHOUTING" under the notion that using all three forms of markup (italics, bold, and allcaps) is not how to write an example.

They originally added the Big Bad example, someone commented it out, then they uncommented it. That's an Edit War, so we will handle this and other issues brought up between these two ATTs in EB.
