ALT1: ... that we're better than the
CDC? Source: DiResta, Renée (21 July 2021). "Institutional Authority Has Vanished. Wikipedia Points to the Answer". The Atlantic. ISSN 2151-9463.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/cdc-should-be-more-like-wikipedia/619469/ "Fortunately, the internet has produced a model for this approach: Wikipedia. The crowdsourced reference site is the simplest, most succinct summary of the current state of knowledge on almost any subject you can imagine. If an agency such as the CDC launched a health-information site, and gave a community of hundreds or thousands of knowledgeable people the ability to edit it, the outcome would be far more complete and up-to-date than individual press releases. The same model—tapping distributed expertise rather than relying on institutional authority—could be useful for other government agencies that find themselves confronting rumors."

That's a really good one, thanks for your suggestion; whoever looks this over can definitely consider that one too.

Approving ALT4. @
MyCatIsAChonk: Thanks for proposing more ALT hooks! ALT4 is good to go and is rather nice in highlighting "all Wikipedias". Striking ALT3 because there's literally no additional information contained within the article beyond what is in the hook (plus it seems rather tangential and undersells the article). Also striking ALT2, because the article currently doesn't even mention the CDC...and also, the hook itself feels a bit misleading – i.e., it would be more accurate to have a hook that says something like, "... The Atlantic suggested that the Centers for Disease Control should emulate Wikipedia?"
