Follow all rules
If the rules prevent you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia's quality, then for deities' sake read them again. They're rules, you know, and you have to follow them. If they seem to be steering you wrong you're just not applying enough of them.
If someone tells you you have done the wrong thing and you have followed all the rules, they must be wrong. Go through their recent contribs and search for a rule they've broken. There's bound to be one or two, which are surely the source of all their confusion. Pointing this out will help steer them back on the right path.
(from Antandrus: "post it to the administrator's noticeboard, with a heading like "rule violation by USER:", and don't forget to suggest a punishment, and immediate de-sysopping, or demotion.")
Nothing can be done without process. I mean, you wouldn't drink milk without having it processed, would you? Then why on earth would you run an encyclopedia without it?
