Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

OCR ingestion with auto-cleaning and paragraph reflowing, followed by a heavyweight page-by-page collation against the Internet Archive conferencereport1960a scan (leaves n76-n80). Boundaries, wording, and metadata verified against the primary source; archive snapshot of source_url still pending.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, running-header/page-number artifact removal, and OCR typo/spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: verified against the Internet Archive conferencereport1960a OCR (source verified, page-by-page collation done). Confirmed talk boundaries (follows Elder Delbert L. Stapley and precedes Elder A. Theodore Tuttle in the Monday, April 4 (Third Day) Afternoon Meeting, page 75-79/leaf n76-n80). Corrected date from placeholder 1960-04-01 to the exact date 1960-04-04, added session: Third Day Afternoon Meeting and talk_order: 3 (after Joseph Fielding Smith and Stapley in that session). Corrected calling_at_time from generic 'Presiding Bishopric' to the source's exact wording, 'Second Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric,' and pinned the source_url to the correct leaf n76 (previously a bare item link). Supplied a descriptive title from the talk's subject. Also fixed one OCR/print artifact: 'Aaronic Presthood' -> 'Aaronic Priesthood' (typo present in the original scan's running text, corrected as an obvious OCR/typo per review policy, not a wording change). No other wording changes were needed beyond cursor-agent's existing lightweight cleanup; body text checked line-by-line against the scan and matches, including all Exodus, Numbers, Luke, D&C, and Matthew quotations.
