A fact from Eorcengota appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 May2026(check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Eorcengota had a vision predicting her own death in which she was symbolically represented as a gold coin?
... that Eorcengota had a vision predicting her own death, in which she was symbolically represented as a gold coin?
Source: "The saintly princess Eorcengota at one point dreams of angelic men in white scouring her monastery in search of a ‘gold coin’ (aureum … nomisma) brought there from Kent, by which Bede meant Eorcengota herself", p. 61
ALT1: ... that Eorcengota was said to have had a vision predicting her own death? Source: p. 61
ALT2: ... that due to a lack of monasteries in her native England, Eorcengota was sent to serve as a nun in France? Source: p. 739
I verified all three hooks as being mentioned in the article and supported by the sources. Great work on this interesting article! Cunard (talk) 07:48, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

At the time, metal coins were rare and symbolised objects of great significance
This means "At the time, metal coins were rare. They represented other objects - significant ones - but we won't mention which objects those were." (I don't think that's what it was intended to mean, but that's what it does mean.)
@TooManyFingers: It was meant to mean metal coins at the time were considered to be objects of great significance, so I've rephrased it to At the time, metal coins were rare, considered prized objects of great significance, and used as jewellery. in order to clarify that.

Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 07:48, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
