Reviewed (for QPQ): Tail chasing

@Everymorning:
New and, long enough.
All paragraphs cited, although Earwig has 25% and has picked up a few phrases which are pretty similar to the NYT and WaPo obits, so ideally some of these sentences should be rewritten just to be safe. I'm not sure if this counts as too closely paraphrased though, it's probably fine, but a second opinion from promoter would be benefitial
Hook is interesting, stated in article, cited.
QPQ done
Passed, but like I said before ideally just to have zero qualms about WP:PARAPHRASING, perhaps some of these flagged phrases should be rewritten Umimmak (talk) 00:49, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

I reworded some of the longer phrases that closely matched the obits. The Earwig figure for the article is now down to 16%; I hope that's low enough. Every morning (there's a halo...) 01:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
