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 record's opening vision and its last historian describe the covenant people's decline in the same three adjectives. The three-adjective collocation stands together only at these two verses; the order differs — 'dark, and loathsome, and a filthy' in Nephi's vision, 'dark, a filthy, and a loathsome' in Mormon — reported as a textual fact. The word 'loathsome' stands at three verses in the record (1 Nephi 12:23; 2 Nephi 5:22; Mormon 5:15; verified by search of the full text). No verse-pair collision: 1 Nephi 12:23 is separately registered against 2 Nephi 5:22 (2ne-ll-loathsome) and Mosiah 1:5 (mos-benjamin-dwindled) — distinct pairs, cross-linked, not duplicates. Hosted on the covenant essay; the entity pages keep the fuller lookup.
