Dear Seqfans,
Sequence is good but wrong is:
"Wolstenholme in 1862 proof that nominators always are square for each
prime >=5"
should be
Wolstenholme in 1862 prooved that nominators always are divisable by  
square of prime >=5
for Sum_{k=1..p-1} 1/k}

and are divisable by prime >=5
for Sum_{k=1..p-1} 1/k^2} <in Max case 1/1^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/4^2  
nominator is 205 and is divisable by 5>

Source: Ribenboim Little Book of Big Primes 2.2.3

I'm apologize for confusion
