Construction Skills Certification Scheme
edit
... that more than 1.6 million Britons hold a Construction Skills Certification Scheme card? "our 1.6 million cardholders.”
ALT1:... that the Construction Skills Certification Scheme qualification was described by its chief executive as having been "a hoop that had to be jumped through to get workers onto site"?"Also, the industry didn’t seem to be placing any real value on obtaining the card, other than it was a hoop that had to be jumped through to get workers onto site."

@Dumelow: A reference in the middle of a word. I am not sure where, if anywhere, it belongs, so could you shoo it into place? "CSCS is seeking to move t[2]owards a minimum of a level 2".
You seem to have used the same review to QPQ Pigeon whistle. I am sure that your note "(1/2)" on both nominations explains it, but could you go through it slowly for those at the back of the class? Gog the Mild (talk) 12:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

- Hi Gog, thanks for your review - I've removed that extra citation. The Template:Did you know nominations/Abrothrix illuteus review was for a two article hook (Abrothrix illuteus & Podocarpus parlatorei) so I have counted it as two QPQ "credits" - Dumelow (talk) 12:14, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Dumelow. Thanks. I should have looked further, but it is Sunday and I am feeling lazy. As I was querying the stray cite anyway, it was easier to ask you. Actually an area I know something about; I am staggered that there wasn't already an article. Nice work.
- I think that ALT0 is fine. ALT1 is, IMO, too wordy. There is probably a better (and short) hook in ALT1 but after some playing around I can't find it, so I am lazily approving ALT0 Gog the Mild (talk) 12:29, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. There was an earlier article at CSCS card deleted as a copy vio in 2010. Our coverage of the construction industry isn't great. I've been writing new articles on and off for the past year as it tied in to revision I was doing anyway. Happy with ALT0, its a bit of a struggle for me to find an interesting hook out of a "work" article sometimes! - Dumelow (talk) 12:37, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
