Previously the "Preferential attachment" page was a simple redirect to the BA model. But since the preferential attachment process has been around (under other names) for many decades before the BA model, and encompasses many models other than the BA model (particularly the 1925 model of Yule, the 1955 model of Simon, and the 1976 model of Price), it seems that there should be somewhere that people can read about these things.

I'm no expert on the matter, so I won't modify the main page, but shouldn't there be a reference to what we call "network effects" in economy on this page? Seems it explains a fairly similar mechanism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.230.144.98 (talk) 05:37, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
