Hello Jimhussey, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
Draft:ACT (nonprofit organization) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 23:56, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Again, thank you for your constructive feedback. I'm very much trying to "play it straight" and be factual, not promotional. I will closely examine your comments and attempt to make the appropriate revisions. I've been at this for a long time today, though, and would likely do more harm than good at this point. I will attempt to resubmit again on Wednesday, March 2. Again, my thanks.
I have reviewed the article originally submitted several months ago, made several modest revisions, and am hopeful that it meets Wikipedia standards in terms of accuracy and copyright guidelines. To my knowledge (and as a novice, I may have missed it in some manner) I have not received feedback on the most recent draft article. I truly would like to get it right. Given the size and impact of ACT and its programs, it seems Wikipedia would benefit from an article on the organization, and ACT would also welcome a straightforward description of the organization and its history. Could you let me if this article is on the right track and what I might need to do to get it in publishable form? Thank you for your assistance.

To my knowledge I have not received a response to my May 31 inquiry. I have attempted to address the issues associated with copyright and potential perceptions of promotion, but am not certain what to do next. In terms of significance, ACT is a large nonprofit organization, and 59 percent of the US high school class of 2015 took the ACT test - more people than live in Chicago, or at least 20 of our 50 states. I am happy to do what I can to provide accurate information for inclusion in a Wikipedia entry, and would welcome any guidance you could provide in that regard. Thank you for your assistance.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
