Textual Paraphrase

This connection's citations are checked against the source text.

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.

Book of Mormon Jacob 1:2
"that I should not touch, save it were lightly, concerning the history of this people"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:33
"if my people desire to know the more particular part of the history of my people they must search mine other plates"

Same editorial rule restated at the handoff. 2 Nephi 5:33 matches Jacob 1:2-3 most closely: both frame the division around the history of the people belonging on the 'other plates' — 1:2 'the history of this people', 5:33 'the history of my people'.
