This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Keeper-relay to abridger — a thematic (interpretive) link. The two ends share the plates-of-Nephi record line but NO distinctive phrase, so this is a thematic continuity link, not shared-phrasing: 4 Nephi 1:19 has the keeper Nephi III keeping 'this last record' upon 'the plates of Nephi'; 3 Nephi 5:11 is the abridger Mormon self-certifying his record-making, one verse after he names his source 'the plates which were called the plates of Nephi' (3 Nephi 5:10). Companion to 3ne-plates-own-hands (3 Nephi 5:11 <-> 1 Nephi 1:17, the 'mine own hands' shared-phrasing record) on the same anchor verse. A related and tighter shared-phrasing pairing links 4 Nephi 1:19 with 3 Nephi 1:3 on the record-keeping succession formula — 3 Nephi 1:3 'did keep the records in his stead', 4 Nephi 1:19 'kept it in his stead' — bounded to exactly 4 loci (3 Nephi 1:3; 4 Nephi 1:19, 1:21, 1:47). The record's other 27 'in his stead' hits are ruler successions, thrones and judgment-seats alike (Helaman 3:37, 6:15 sit on the judgment-seat side); the count is record-scoped — corpus-wide the phrase stands at 112 verses (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze), chiefly the Old Testament king-succession formula, with 8 in the Doctrine and Covenants (28:7, 35:18, 42:10, 43:4, 102:11, 104:77, 107:11, 124:132), every one of them an office succession rather than a record-keeping one, so the bounded 4-loci record-keeping claim is untouched.
