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.
Ammoron - a Nephite dissenter made 'king of the Lamanites' (54:16) - recites the Zeniff-catalogued grievance-tradition as casus belli; the catalog uses Ammoron's verb at Mosiah 10:16 ('they said that he robbed them'). The tradition is now portable political ideology detached from descent - Ammoron claims Zoram-descent (54:23, record on zoram.md), not Laman-descent.
