Your edits are becoming more incresingly pretty pedantic over every small details and wording that was already acceptable. Im just asking you to pls not cause any potential edit wars for everyone else because we both could be punished for it.
If you want to improve things i suggest going to the list of sandboxes and checking on missing pages and redlinks.

And you need to be able to explain why you're undoing edits. Pedantry isn't against the rules (indeed, it's one of our specialties).

I felt the wording on the hellhawk page was ok as it was and i thought most pages with a monster need to link the kaiju page in its opening paragraph.
I also thought that every instance of monsterverse kong was to just be called...well kong because the skull island series page called him that.

What was actually wrong with the change? It just seems like you're trying to find fault with everything Titan Kaiju Fan does. But Kong should be used over King Kong when talking about media where the shorter version is the default, yeah.
Oh, you edited your response as I was writing mine. In that case, just... say that.

im never good with making final sentences i always remember to add stuff after the fact because i ended up forgetting to mention something.
i already explained my reasoning for the hellhawk because i thought every opening paragraph on a monsters page needed to link the kaiju page plus they are indeed bat like avians.
i kept undoing the radiation abilities thing on MonsterVerse Godzilla because none of the other incarnations lumped every radiation related ability under the same section but i didn't think of asking staff to go look at it at the moment because i think i was a bit afraid id just anger them for some reason.
and i undid his edits on the Mechagodzilla page because i thought opening sentences on the ability sections wasn't a thing because i don't recall any other monster page doing that and i thought that changing every instance of "the film" to "godzilla vs kong" might had been somewhat redundant?

I'm aware you're not undoing these edits for no reason - although in the case of the Hellhawk page it truly was not clear from your edit summaries - but the two of you need to discuss your disagreements in talk pages rather than hoping the other person gets tired of hammering the Undo button first. That's it.

i was worried of being accused for backseat moderation if i actually tried to talk to him about the edits.
Astounding Beyond Belief

Pointing to precedents on other pages isn't backseat moderation; I don't think that line would be crossed in such a conversation unless, say, you intimated they would be banned for continuing to make certain edits or declaring that there was a specific rule on how to refer to (King) Kong in different media.

I don't mean to be pedantic or whatever, I just add whatever edit I think could work. Sorry for the trouble.

EDIT les came in and explained

please stop calling the hawk a character
we don't call any kaiju/monster/creature a character in the opening paragraph on any pages that is exclusively used for humans and non monster aliens
unless the monster has the ability to speak or is a character who can turn into a monster.
Titanus Kaiju Fan
(talkcontribs)
Says who? A monster is a character, and there is nothing saying it’s exclusively for humans or creatures with the ability to talk.
Zillaman98
(talkcontribs)
says literally every monster pages opening paragraph on the site if you actually took the time to read any of them.
Les
(talkcontribs)
There's no rule that says a monster can't be called a character, but "monster" is just more specific. I don't think it's worth arguing this much over, but it does seem strange to insist on using phrasing that essentially no other pages do.

Here we are again, why do you feel the need to undo edits all the time, the wording on the page was fine as it is
Titanus Kaiju Fan
(talkcontribs)
I just wanted to improve it a little.
Zillaman98
(talkcontribs)
I really don't want to assume but it kinda comes off as intentionally edit warring for the kick of it, theres nothing wrong with gyuragojis design description as it is since shin and Ani dont say that.
Titanus Kaiju Fan
(talkcontribs)
So what? That doesn't mean it shouldn't say that.
Zillaman98
(talkcontribs)
Its supposed to be consistant with the other pages.
Astounding Beyond Belief
(talkcontribs)
I think the revised wording is better, although it's fantastically unimportant which we use.
Zillaman98
(talkcontribs)
Considering you're behavior and insistance on keeping you're own edits over other users who are not staff, i am convinced this is intentional now. I specifically reworded the mother longlegs page in a way i felt was fine and would stop pointless edit warring but it was reverted anyway.
Astounding Beyond Belief

Edit-warring over the word "the" is beyond parody. If the two of you need to be banned again as a reminder that hammering the "undo" button over and over again isn't a replacement for conversation, I'm happy to oblige. Or you could just leave each other's edits alone and leave them to the rest of us.
