Joseph Smith—History 1:11 · James 1:5
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.
Joseph Smith—History 1:11 reproduces James 1:5 verbatim, word-for-word and punctuation-exact, and names the source text: the account is 'reading the Epistle of James, first chapter and fifth verse, which reads:' followed by the sentence. Class (a) attributed quotation (editorial-position §2a): the text names its source and reproduces its words. The naming recurs — 'do as James directs' (1:13), 'the testimony of James' (1:26). asserted_by 'source' — the register's first (2026-07-10): the account names its source text by book, chapter, and verse, and reproduces its words — the Isaiah paradigm at full strength. first-vision.md's earlier zero-textual-records framing was revised with this registration under the same ruling. Standing disclosure required on the host. Reported as textual fact; what the correspondence implies about the origin of the text is out of scope.
