Please note that everything that was written is supported by a reliable source. The fourth source in the article (which is provided by The Guardian[1]) has a group member (Joni Sledge) saying “the four of us had been in the music business for eight years and we were frustrated. We were saying: “Well, maybe we should go to college and just become lawyers or something other than music, because it really is tough.” My sister Kim actually started law school.” Furthermore, the album’s chart achievements, Grammy nomination, promotion campaign, tour, etc. were all erased even though that was properly sourced. Deleting such a large amount of text with authoritative sources at a minimum requires rules-based arguments and reasonable prior discussion, not a one-sided disruption. I don’t like how all of this was removed and then summed up as some ridiculous claim of “AI-written trash” when I spent a lot of hard work writing and finding reliable sources to use in the article.

In this diff, the second paragraph was removed. “A result of the substantial artistic change, We Are Family is a disco and soul record. Furthermore, it incorporates complex arrangements and spontaneous vocal recordings. Its themes include infatuation, affirmation, and sexual, and unity, while a loose dance theme is maintained throughout.” is stated on the AllMusic link and because it is being used for biographical details, it should be fine. “The production and innovative approach earned critical praise.” This is true and that’s what made it a breakthrough album, also supported by the sources in the article. “However, retrospective critical commentaries saw praise directed towards the album’s production.” This is also true and supported in the ‘Critical reception’ part of the article. Most of the praise was geared towards Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers (the producers of the album). If you go through the links listed for each album review, they speak majorly about Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers or Chic. I just tried to pick out the things mainly about Sister Sledge.
