Interesting lives, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - Hooks: I find the ALT too general, and only saying something about endurance. In the first, I like the mentioning of their style, and that they are sisters, but would not put it all together. How about "duo" instead of "group"? I wonder if the fact of them singing in different rooms is sooo ineresting. "careful harmony" sounds strange (to me), - well-tuned? How about saying something completely different? - Article: link the music style, and mention it sooner? A word seems to be missing in the second sentence. "female duet" sounds strange (at least to me), how about "women duo"? (I know duet as a piece, not a group.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I dunno, I find the concept of learning to harmonize while in different rooms to be very interesting. If other's don't agree, I'll have to find something else. How about:
- ALT2: ... that Tejano music sister duo Carmen y Laura honed their harmony skills while doing chores in separate rooms?

- Perhaps I am the only one who has no idea what "honed" means, which is not in the article. Suggestion:
- ALT3: ... that Carmen y Laura, sisters who formed a duo for mostly Tejano music, improved their skill in harmony by singing together while doing chores in separate rooms?
approved, unless you come up with an improvement. - I trust that you'll consider the suggestions for the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
