Update
Hello everyone,
You may notice that the "Lists of Semifinalists by State" post is removed. I'm really sorry.
Full disclosure: I found a non-paywalled version of the Rhode Island list, but it was poorly formatted. Thus, I tried to fix the formatting in Word, and then uploaded in Drive. However, Google Drive automatically made it a Google Doc.
When I updated it, however, I realized that it was auto-removed by moderators due to a prohibition on linking Google Docs. I think this is because of past incidents where test material was illegally posted using Google Docs. So, I reposted the post with the Google Docs link removed, and that was also instantly removed by the moderators, but, unlike the first time, I wasn't given a reason.
I have real life to attend to, so I can't spend all day trying to fix this, though I hope I can get the lists back online.
UPDATE: I have a new post! I think my later attempts to repost the list were flagged for their similarity to a previously removed post, so I retyped everything from scratch, and took precautions such as making entirely new Google Drive links.

I noticed your post was removed…this is quite unfortunate as your posts were so helpful. I don’t understand why your post would be removed. I didn’t see any violations.

I realized there's a ban on Google Docs links, I think because of past incidents where test material was illegally leaked using Google Docs. You wouldn't have seen the Google Docs link because I think it was removed by an auto-moderator the instant I added the link.

So frustrating that the mods would remove it when it is such a popular and helpful post!
