* In the lead, I can see sequences mathematically written after naming the sequences. Why can't we simply remove them, making the reader understand the abstraction at the beginning? (GACR1b) We already have an examples section containing a list of sequences in the table, though it may discussed further below. Also, I do not understand why you need to repeat defining the topic twice in both the lead and definition sections.

::{{done}} Yes that is probably better. The reason I define it twice is that the definition section clarifies that the sequence <math>s_i</math> and the coefficients <math>c_i</math> range over the same ___domain (sequence of integers, rationals, reals, ...) but it's possible this could be more clear or could be structured differently.

::To clarify, are you suggesting the floats and examples be removed from the lead? [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 20:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

* Same section here, I wonder if you could put the-unsolved-problem-template, somewhere the section mentions it. Same reason for those two images in the lead. [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 10:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

* Definition: The math display="block" already gives an indentation of the formula, so why do you need to add a colon? Do you also need to emphasize the boldface word '''order'''? Do you need to bracket the sentence describing another nickname of the equation? [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 10:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

* Examples: I do not understand here. Why do you need tables, whereas you also need more subsections to describe every cell in that table? Also, they are unsourced (GACR2b). [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 10:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

::{{Partly done}} I added an OEIS link for the table. Is this sufficient, or do we need OEIS links at each individual row, or is OEIS insufficient? [[User:Caleb Stanford|Caleb Stanford]] ([[User talk:Caleb Stanford|talk]]) 20:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

* Equivalent definitions: Is it fine to write "<math> \leq d </math>", instead of writing "less than or equal to <math> d </math>", as it may not be helpful for non-mathematical readers (GACR1a)? A "non-homogeneous linear recurrence" phrase may not need to be emphasized in boldface per [[MOS:BOLDTITLE]].
