Duncan Watts and Peter Sheridan Dodds's 2007 paper in the Journal of Consumer Research distinguished two types of spreading process
+Damon Centola and Michael Macy's 2007 paper in the American Journal of Sociology distinguished two types of spreading process

Why this is better

Body text was already correctly fixed to attribute the simple/complex contagion distinction to Damon Centola and Michael Macy's 2007 American Journal of Sociology paper. However the FAQ field (question 'How do networks affect how diseases and ideas spread through populations?') still had the stale, unfixed attribution to 'Duncan Watts and Peter Dodds (2007)'. Decoded the faq field (base64->json->base64->json), corrected the attribution to Centola and Macy with the AJS citation, re-encoded with the exact reverse operation sequence, PUT the post, and verified by re-fetching and re-decoding that the fix is present and the field still resolves to a valid 7-entry array.
