Los Angeles neighborhoods
Many of these articles could use a lot of work, especially those concerning lesser-known neighborhoods.

 * Watch out for "civic boosterism" and real-estate sales language

Template for demographic info
DISTRICT lies in census tracts TRACTS. As of the census of 2000, there were # people, # households, and # families residing in the district. The population density was #/km² (#/mi²). There were # housing units at an average density of #/km² (#/mi²). The racial makeup of the district was WHITE% White, BLACK% African American, NA% Native American, ASIAN% Asian, PI% Pacific Islander, OTHER% from other races, and TWOMORE% from two or more races. HISP% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race, and NHWHITE% of whites were not of Hispanic origin.

There were # households out of which UNDER18% had children under the age of 18 living with them, COUPLES% were married couples living together, FHOUSE% had a female householder with no husband present, and NFAMILY% were non-families. IND% of all households were made up of individuals and 65ALONE% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was HOUSESIZE and the average family size was FAMSIZE.

In the district the population was spread out with UNDER18% under the age of 18, 1824% from 18 to 24, 2544% from 25 to 44, 4464% from 45 to 64, and 65PLUS% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was MEDAGE years. For every 100 females there were MALES males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were MALES males.

The median income for a household in the district was $MEDINCOME, and the median income for a family was $MEDFAMILY. Males had a median income of $MALEINCOME versus $FEMALEINCOME for females. The per capita income for the city was $PERCAPINCOME. About FAMPOVLINE% of families and POPPOVLINE% of the population were below the poverty line, including 18UNDERPOVLINE% of those under age 18 and 65OVERPOVLINE% of those age 65 or over.

RFA
My RFA criteria: I won't oppose an RFA unless I have a really good reason.

Some things I don't care about:
 * How many featured articles a user has. I agree with the 1FA criterion on one point: someone who writes featured articles is generally a good admin candidate. However, that's no reason to deny adminship to anyone who hasn't gotten an article to FA status.
 * Whether someone used the word "vote" once or twice. I've slipped into that term before to refer to AFD, RFA and similar processes, but I fully support and understand Polls are evil. However, there is a problem when a candidate has shown a severe misunderstanding of rough consensus (e.g. claiming a page on AFD should be deleted because the raw count was 13 delete, 12 keep), or has made comments such as "If I am elected administrator..."
 * Edit count in particular namespaces, such as templates or categories. When most users speak of "a good balance of edits in different namespaces", they mean the candidate doesn't just do one thing, and has a good background in important aspects of Wikipedia editing and maintenance. For example, if a user has 5000 edits, that's generally a good thing. But if the edits are all to AFD pages, that's not so good. A user doesn't need an extensive history in all conceivable areas of Wikipedia to be a good admin. RFA comments like "not enough category edits" make as much sense as, say, "not enough MediaWiki talk edits".
