cross-checked
Validated against sources
Cross-checked is the past tense of cross-check, meaning to verify information by comparing it against another source or method: I cross-checked the figures against last year's report.
In hockey, to cross-check is to hit an opponent with the shaft of your stick held horizontally—a penalty-worthy move.
