  • Multiple issues. Text is mere 1516 letters. It seems that some info is repeated in article to reach 1500+. I can not find reliable source/citation which prove the info in the hook. If article is copyedited, it may result in a stub having 1000 lettets. Please expand the article and have citation clearly stating the info in hook. Regards and Keep contributing. -Nizil (talk) 16:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Hook is in [1], my dad has always been a skier and from a young age worked in the mountain rescue team at Glenshee ski centre, so naturally I wanted to do what my father did, used as source in article, so no issue there. The lead summarises the article, which is what it is meant to do. Therefore, the information is sourced in the article, then summarised in the lead. Thanks, Matty.007 15:59, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Ok, I found the citation but you cited in article incorrectly. Anyways ::: Murray Buchan (born 2 December 1991), nicknamed Mutley, Muesli, and Muzza, is a freestyle skier who competes in the discipline of halfpipe, his first Olympics was the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.[2]
Buchan's Olympic debut was at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, he competed on 18 February 2014 in the halfpipe, a freestyle skiing event, finishing in 17 place in the qualification round.
This lead speaks of his 2014 Olympic debut twice. And if we remove it. Article falls short of 1500 letters. It is also mentioned twice that he won British Championship. Lead summarizes but in main text. This is mentioned twice. And it looks like If someone copyedits it, it will be even more short. So please add more info rather than stretching what is already there.

I can't see that the cite was wrong, I think you must have simply missed it, it looks fine to me. I'll expand the article in the next few days. Thanks, Matty.007 11:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
