Some sources have more BRO content than others. The two Google book previews have a good bit from what I recall. I will add the information that I find from newspapers.com below. dawnleelynn(talk) 04:49, 3 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Newspaper clippings

edit

Looks like there are plenty of clippings. Here's one that has partial articles about BRO events running in 1998, the year you were concerned about. Let me know if you can't view it. I will add some tomorrow, preferably after you tell me more specific dates you'd like me to search for, etc.

Hi Uricarrillo94 Regarding the archivelink added by the GreenCBot yesterday, this issue is occurring in Bodacious and this article too. The bot is adding an archivelink that doesn't work. The newspaper that owns the article has apparently disabled the link in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. It's their right as they still own their articles even as they are saved into that site. So when someone clicks the link, the article briefly comes up, but then it disappears. In the simplest terms, the archive link doesn't work and it's not helpful. But every time I remove these unhelpful links, these archivebots IABot and GreenCBot simply add them back. I've written a message on the GreenCbot owner's page asking them how to stop this from happening in future and am awaiting an answer. So if you don't mind, please do not edit these for now...Thanks! dawnleelynn(talk) 19:23, 7 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi again Uricarrillo94 The bot owner replied to me, and it has come to my attention that I am the only editor with an issue in viewing this archivelink in this article and in Bodacious. I even tried another browser and clearing the cache in both. Also some other troubleshooting methods recommended. At this point, I am going to leave the archivelinks in the citations due to it only being my own issue. I'll try to keep in mind in future to have other editors test such issues first. dawnleelynn(talk) 21:30, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
