Generalizing Wallis formula

The present note generalizes a well-known formula for pi/2 named after the English mathematician John Wallis. The two new formulas for infinite products containing the natural numbers and their roots express them using the Euler-Mascheroni constant and the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. Like Wallis formula, the generalizations are slowly convergent, but their importance is aesthetic as the fomulas probably please the eye of the mathematical beholder.
