Hi,
If we want to use the verb 'nitpick' towards people or their actions, which preposition is okay?
Stop nitpicking me? Stop nitpicking to me?
As for things, we can just say: Stop nitpicking my ideas?

You should change this and this.
Stop nitpicking.
Don’t nitpick.

You can also use “about”

Hello, Igor.
You wouldn't use 'at' or any other preposition. You could say:
- Stop nitpicking me.
- Stop nitpicking my work.
