MAIN SAMPLE

SDSS-I/II spectra 1543
BOSS spectra 1654
SDSS-I/II spectra exhibiting C IV BAL troughs 1319
C IV BAL troughs detected in SDSS-I/II spectra 1874

P4 SAMPLE

Sources with a disappearing BAL trough 67
Disappearing BAL troughs in BOSS spectra 73
Sources belonging to the pristine sample 4/30
(10−8Pχ2 ≤ 10−4)

P8 SAMPLE
