A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
the sisters were nominated by the for Vocal Group of the Year in both 1985 and 1986 - aside from the ungrammatical phraseology, they were nominated for Vocal Group of the Year by whom exactly?
the two split production duties with
Barry Beckett,
James Stroud, and
Emory Gordy Jr. - does this refer to the song or the album? (I have edited it on the assumption that it refers only to the song, but am not sure if this is correct).
Okay, here's a minor issue albeit one that I think needs addressing. In some of the cite web templates for Allmusic, you have "Allmusic" placed in the "work=" field, and for others in the "publisher=" field. The difference is that the "work" field italicizes its contents and the "publisher" field does not, so you have inconsistent formatting in the references. IMO all the "Allmusic" strings should be in the "publisher" field, as Allmusic isn't really a "work", it's a website, and the "work=" field isn't a standard field in "cite web" anyhow.
But it's already sourced elsewhere in the article. It's just linking to the articles. Do you really need a source to prove that the article exists? Do you really need to cite a given fact every single time it comes up? Ten Pound Hammer • (

Well, you appear to have sourced it now, so the discussion is redundant. For the record though, lists have to be fully cited.
There is another issue though, which is that you only have eight albums listed and Allmusic lists thirteen.
Fixed. I included the Christian and compilation albums. You Again is listed twice on Allmusic, and there's also a non-notable budget line repackaging that I didn't feel was worth noting. I have found literally no mention of "Sunday Meetin'" anywhere in any contemporary news articles or trade publications, so I felt no need to include it in the body of the article.

TenPoundHammer, please check my edits to ensure they are acceptable to you. Other than that, I think this article is probably not far from promotion at this point, it's generally well written and with no evident major problems. I will probably return to wrap this up tomorrow if no further issues become apparent.

Thanks. It's late where I live, so I'll come back to give this the once-over before promoting it. Apologies for the delay in getting back to this over the last few days BTW, something came up off-wiki and I've simply been too busy to return to wikipedia until today.

This is a well written article that only required a few tweaks and corrections to get it up to speed. It does get a little repetitive with the repeated references to albums, singles released, producers and so on, but this is an issue with pretty much all articles about musicians and something that seems almost unavoidable if you want to give comprehensive coverage. In the case of this particular article, the repetition is alleviated by the review quotes leavened throughout, which help maintain interest. Certainly, as somebody with little interest in country music, the article was sufficiently engaging to make me want to go and listen to some of their music! Overall, a worthwhile addition to the encyclopedia.
