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.
Scene-identification, offered to weigh. 2 Nephi 27 foretells a sealed book shown to a learned man who cannot read it (27:15-18), the task then passing to the unlearned (27:19); Joseph Smith—History narrates a learned man shown the characters who, told the plates are sealed, says 'I cannot read a sealed book' (1:65). Matching scene-shape (learned man / sealed book / refusal to read); the learned's words at 27:18 are 'I cannot read it' alone ('for it is sealed' is 27:17, spoken by 'the man'), and the account does not cite the prophecy. Text-to-text mapping only; real-world identity of the persons is out of scope. Interpretive. Book-of-Mormon side hosted on coming-forth-of-scripture.md.
