A fact from Marcy Tigner appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 November 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that as an adult, Marcy Tigner sold more than two million albums featuring her natural child-like voice?

Confusing timeline[edit]

From the article:

Her first record to utilize her child-like voice was released September 1960, made for Cornerstone Records and entitled Happy Day Express: Sing With Marcy.[3][5] Despite only four months' circulation, it was the tenth-best selling religious record of 1960.[5] Tigner commenced a tour to promote the album, but she felt ill-at-ease performing as a grown-up woman while performing children's songs with her decidedly immature voice.[8] She became acquainted with 1965 Miss America Vonda Kay Van Dyke while working on the film Teenage Diary, and Van Dyke encouraged her to study Paul Winchell's book on ventriloquism.[2][9] By April 1961 a doll named Little Marcy was created by the same dollmaker who made Charlie McCarthy, based on Tigner's specifications of herself as a small child, and this doll became so popular through personal appearances that Tigner's name was dropped and further recordings and appearances were simply credited to "Little Marcy."[2][5][6]

We go from September 1960 to 1965 to April 1961. Did Tigner become acquainted with Van Dyke four years before Van Dyke became Miss America? If so, this could be worded better as "She became acquainted with Vonda Kay Van Dyke, who would later be Miss America 1965, while working on the film Teenage Diary,..."

If, alternatively, Tigner started with ventriloquism and had the Little Marcy doll made long before she met Van Dyke, the order of the sentences should be changed to make that clear.

Thank you Tkynerd, that is an excellent suggestion. Yes, she met Van Dyke before she became Miss America, and I have incorporated your wording. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 15:23, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
