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.
Shared run: 'the testimony of three'. Both attach it to a number-of-witnesses rule and to a word that goes forth. Divergences: the revelation makes the sending the speaker's act ('will I send forth of my word'), Ether the establishing a matter of mouths. Ether 5:3 states the same grant the revelation states at D&C 5:12-13 — 'And unto three shall they be shown by the power of God; wherefore they shall know of a surety that these things are true' — treated in the interpretive record w1-dc5-three-2ne27 rather than registered twice.
