Reference tables

Found /www/bigissue/cache/Reference_tables

You usually find a collection of reference tables in the back of dictionaries, almanacs, and encyclopedias (or an index of them, if they're scattered throughout the work). As these tables appear in The Encyclopedia, please add them to this index.

What we have in mind is listings or tabular information for quick reference, not narrative articles.
