I believe a more correct phrasing would be "Starting verification", "Starting verification process" or simply "Verification started". But to a developer, it sometimes makes sense to think of start/stop checkpoints for a procedure. E.g. "Verification START", "Verification STOP". Makes sense to the developer in a debug output, but to the end user this is not always very intuitive or attractive In my opinion, the messages/strings shown to the end user should (where possible) be in a natural, flowing and user-friendly language, not just brief head words.
That said, many strings that previously were a bit misleading or ambiguous, have been promptly corrected and improved afterwards. I'm delighted to see that suggestions are being taken seriously, and that the overall user-friendliness is constantly getting better and better.
