[seqfan] Re: Referencing the OEIS

[Tanya Khovanova]

The sequence author in the database is very often not the author of the
sequence. Many of us volunteer to submit sequences from other papers
and sources. 

For example, I submitted A122726 Sociable numbers - I was surprised
that they were not in the OEIS and certainly they were invented before
I was born.

I think it is very appropriate to have a submitter as an author in
OEIS, but I am not sure about propagating the name further.
