You can't forget to accuse them of plagiarism of your most recent best-selling novel, and threaten to sue.
It also helps to send them a Wikipedia e-mail (or a few, or several hundred) reminding them what's wrong with them, exactly how stupid they are (be sure to use similes and comparisons, they make for more captivating e-mails; also don't forget the mandatory "if I had a dollar for every brain you didn't have, I'd have one dollar"), how you have engaged in sexual relations with their mother/sister/girlfriend (be sure to describe these encounters in great detail - it will keep the reader focused on the topic at hand), how many different ways you are going to cause bodily harm to them and/or their loved ones (be very graphic - it helps to drive your point home), remind them how small their manhood is (again, use similes and comparisons... and when they tell you they're a woman, say "my point exactly!"), rinse, and repeat.

What is the policy on duplicate articles? "U.S. customary units" and "Imperial unit" both cover the same topic.
Official policy is that you should look at the history of the article with the title you least prefer to find the person who did the smallest possible change (I like "it's" to "its" changes, myself). Then, you write an ALL-CAPS HATE LETTER to them on their User talk: page, cursing them vehemently for "vandalizing" Wikipedia and violating the NPOV rule. If you can, threaten to have their ISP account deactivated and/or physical violence. Mention of Nazis or Hitler is a finesse touch but not required. Finally, look at their user contributions to find other articles the user's worked on, and blank them.
An alternate approach is to merge the two articles and make one a redirect to the other. But what fun is that?
