Two sets of figures for area and jurisdiction

• Area: 116.47 sq km on the administrative divisions page; "116.5 sq km" on the profile page, a rounded form.
• Jurisdiction: 6 residents' committees and 8 villagers' committees on the administrative divisions page; "14 villages and communities" in the profile page's combined wording.

The two add up to the same 14. The entry fields follow the itemised version.

Points of doubt

• The origin of the name Shiqiu and its relation to Shiqiu Dam are not recorded in the sources held here; a place-name entry awaits a source.
• Resident and registered populations appear only on the profile page, which carries no reference date.
