In response to http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2009-July/001881.html ,
the advantage of removing A0939341 is
i) it's the one of the three without any further cross-references.
ii) it purges the embarrassment that I once added a formula which was already introduced two years earlier -:).

So in A001972 we would
i) replace the comment ".. have this pattern..." by a more
    precise and direct reference to A008621, taken from A093934
ii) replace the %D by a nicer link to the preprint
ii) replace the %H by a more direct link link to the JIS article
iii) Make the Somos floor(..^3/8) formula more explicit [...] -> floor(...)
iv) Add a formula/reference to A130519
v) Move a %Y  line to a formula.
vi) Add the bisections remark of A093934
vii) Add the sum-of-four-terms formula of A093934, adjusting for offset
viii) Add the formula in terms of a polynomial in n and (-n) of A093934, adjusting for offset
ix) Add the factorized gf to the definition.
