From:
http://oeis.org/wiki/Style_Sheet#Data
"If every second term is zero (A, 0, B, 0, C, 0, D, 0, E, ...) then
normally we omit
the zeros and list the sequence as A, B, C, D, E, ..."
There may be some rare exceptions to this rule in the OEIS.
Sometimes it is not clear from the beginning that the terms behave like
this.
But old sequences (A022920 is from 1998) will not be reformatted.
Best regards,
Alois
