Sources for this decade — and where they sit in the books
同一段歷史可以由唔同冊嘅唔同章節講（例如人口冊同自然資源冊都會講供水）。頁碼範圍＝本十年條目出自該冊嘅 最細同最大原書頁：範圍窄係「集中喺某章」，範圍闊係「散喺全書」。

Densest pages of the original books in this decade
原書一頁可以載幾十條原子事實。同一頁嘅條目往往跨幾個年份，所以本站唔會把「同一書頁」假裝連去單一年份頁—— 下表只報密度（「年份跨度」＝該頁條目橫跨幾多年）。每條條目自己嘅頁碼照樣喺條目卡同引文出現。

Sample entries (sampled, not “most important”)
抽樣（唔係「最重要」）：年份升序掃一次，日期精確到日而且可以獨立閱讀嘅條目優先、每年最多一條；唔夠就放寬到每年兩條，最後取消年份上限。規則寫死，所以重跑結果一樣。
Sampling (not “most important”): years ascending, day-precision and standalone-readable entries first, at most one per year; then two per year, then no cap. The rule is fixed, so reruns are deterministic.
本切片共 649 條，呢度只列 12 條；其餘請由上面嘅年份頁入。
引用每條都可以引用：按條目下面嘅「引用呢條」，可以揀中文腳註／中文參考書目／APA／Chicago 四種格式並複製。 書名、出版者、年份同頁碼一律由已登記來源同生成檔派生，頁面一條都唔會手寫；年份取來源登記嘅出版年， 來源未登記出版年嘅，引文改用查閱日期並寫明。
Every entry is citable. Press “Cite this entry” for a Chinese footnote, Chinese bibliography, APA or Chicago note — all derived from the registered source and the generated archive, never hand-written. If a registered source has no publication year, the citation prints the access date and says so.
