comment Why does 赤 have a negative connotation?
The 常用漢和辞典改訂第三版 from 学研 gives 赤裸々 and 赤貧 as examples for the meaning 「余分なものが何一つない。また、ありのままである。」

comment Joining adjectives with し before a noun
@user1205935 I'm looking at the examples for し on 大辞林. A lot of them only contain one し. What am I missing?

comment What is the correct romanization of イー?
@user1205935 I don't think you can reasonably call it "official", but I do own the fifth edition, so I decided to take a look. This is all it said: 長音 母音の上に長音符(¯)をつけて示す. ā (アー), ū (ウー), ō (オー)など. ただし, 本辞典では以下の3都市名に限り、例外として長音符をつけなかった. Tokyo 東京, Kyoto 京都, Osaka 大阪

Then what do you mean by "correct"?

comment What is the correct romanization of イー?
By "correct", do you mean "according to the rules described by the particular version of Hepburn linked to in this question"?

There are also electronic dictionaries with audio recordings of pronunciation you can listen to.

comment Vocab vs. Kanji. Should I learn a lot of vocab first before moving to kanji?
Some people think it's better to focus on the spoken language first. Jorden thought so. My personal feeling is that it doesn't make sense to put off learning to read. But it's really up to you what you want to learn and in what order, so there isn't a real answer to this question. I voted to close.

comment Is まで inclusive or exclusive when marking a range of dates?
Could this be phrased something like: "Is まで inclusive or exclusive when marking a range of dates?" I'm trying to think of how this question could be more easily found by others in the future.

Fix spelling (in case anyone needs to look up "interdiction" in a dictionary)
