Provide the audience with an intuitive way with examples to understand the meaning behind the alpha and beta transition probabilities. The text on pg. 4 describes what the various ranges of alpha and beta mean, but the authors should expand on this and possibly use illustrations/figures to show how changing the values leads to different relations between article quality, # of edits, and/or expertise.

instead of doing this in the method i put this in the discussion, but it can be moved to the method. the only problem is that I used the simplifying assumption \alpha = 0 which is sort of too early for the method.
