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 Enos 1:10
"I have given unto them this land, and it is a holy land; and I curse it not save it be for the cause of iniquity"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 1:7
"if iniquity shall abound cursed shall be the land for their sakes"

Typed paraphrase: shared elements are land + curse + iniquity-only condition; wording differs throughout (no contiguous shared phrase beyond common words). Lehi states the clause as covenant law; Enos hears it in the Lord's first person ('I curse it not'). The phrase 'holy land' is unique to Enos 1:10 in the record; the only other corpus occurrence is Zechariah 2:12 ('the LORD … shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land'). Distinct pair from jac-land-cursed (Jacob 2:29 <-> 2 Nephi 1:7).
