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.
The descriptor the separation-cursing used for the brethren's state before the curse now describes the whole converted people after Christ's ministry. 2 Nephi 5:21 applies 'exceedingly fair and delightsome' to the brethren before the cursing it then narrates ('because of their iniquity… they had hardened their hearts against him'); 4 Nephi 1:10 applies it to the wholly-converted people of Nephi, in a context the text frames as blessing (all converted, 4 Nephi 1:2; 'blessed according to the multitude of the promises', 4 Nephi 1:11). The phrase 'fair and delightsome' occurs in exactly two verses across the covered books -- 2 Nephi 5:21 and 4 Nephi 1:10; the single word 'delightsome' is more common (2 Nephi 5:21, 30:6-7, 3 Nephi 24:12, Words of Mormon 1:8, Mormon 5:17, Moroni 9:12). Thematic support only, never the endpoint: 3 Nephi 2:15-16 narrates the curse 'taken from' the converted Lamanites, whose 'skin became white' and who 'became exceedingly fair' -- the descriptor-family recurs at curse-removal, but 3 Nephi 2:16 carries 'exceedingly fair' WITHOUT 'delightsome' (as do Ether 7:4 and 8:9, Jaredite contexts unrelated to the curse frame), so it is a thematic thread, not the phrase-pair endpoint. Reported strictly in the text's own words and the text's own stated causes; what the descriptor's recurrence signifies is not asserted, and no racial or modern gloss is added.
