On 2.2, I think you're wrong. Allan and Neil are acting as publisher 
here; you credit the author, not the publisher.

Hi, I checked the b-file that is now present.  Two unrelated comments:

1.  It would be good to add the number *all* vertex-transitive cubic
graphs, not necessarily connected.  That follows using one of the
standard transformations.

2. I know this comment is too late, but I'm a bit concerned about how
b-files are presented.

 1. Are they an official part of OEIS?  If so, why are they in the LINKS
    section looking like external sources? This also makes them harder
    to find on the page, which is what prompted this comment.
 2. The way they are presented is misleading.  This example: "Primož
    Potočnik, Pablo Spiga and Gabriel Verret, Table of n, a(n) for n =
    2..640".  That is wrong; it is not a work of Potočnik et al..  It is
    a work of Allan and Neil based on the work of Potočnik et al..  If
    Allan and Neil made an error in creating the file, Potočnik et al.
    will get the blame. (Think of an example which needs more processing
    than mere copying to see why this is not mere nitpicking.) Were
    Potočnik et al. even asked if they want their name on this new work?
    What I'm saying is that this violates the usual practices of
    authorship and attribution.

The cheapest way to fix 2.2 would be to rephrase the link like "Table 
of
n, a(n) for n = 2..640, based on Primož Potočnik, Pablo Spiga and
Gabriel Verret".

Cheers, Brendan.

I did it. I'm working on the other tables in that web site, but there 
are
some problems.
To be continued.
