Japanese companies names
Hello,

Please don't change the names of Japanese companies whose legal Japanese name is in rōmaji or katakana:.

You can easily verify a company's legal name by going to the legal section of the official website or http://www1.touki.or.jp/gateway.html

About Daihatsu, ダイハツ工業株式会社 based in Osaka and 大発工業株式会社 based in Okinawa are two completely different companies.

Feature phone
Hi, and a belated Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Feature phone, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

PC Optimizer Pro moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, PC Optimizer Pro, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

 * That's a fair point; I hold lots of fascinations of which I might make related contributions: technology, linguistics, science, culinary arts - I'm not requesting an unblock purely to use the Sandbox - I'm stating that I feel like I need to use it more often when I'm unblocked.

Edit to Lemonade stand
A lemonade stand is a small business, commonly owned and operated by one or more children, to sell lemonade or other beverages, such as iced tea. Lemonade stands are typically held in the summer season.

The stand used may be a folding table, while the archetypical version is custom-made out of plywood or cardboard boxes. A paper sign in front may be used to advertise the lemonade stand.

Educational benefits
Lemonade stands are often viewed as a way for children to experience business at a young age. The ideas of profit, economic freedom, and teamwork are often attributed to traits lemonade stands can instill. However, unlike a real business, they often benefit from free labor and rent, and may have a lack of expenses.

Culture
The concept of lemonade stands has become iconic of youthful summertime American culture to the degree that many parodies and variations on the concept exist across books, movies, and other media.

Legality
In some areas, lemonade stands are usually in technical violation of several laws, including operation without a business license and/or permit, lack of adherence to health codes, and sometimes child labor laws. Lemonade stands have been known to spread disease due to poor sanitation, including a 1941 case in Chicago where 12 people were infected with poliovirus virus, five of whom were paralyzed, from a child's lemonade stand.

Enforcement of these laws for lemonade stand operations are extremely rare, but have been known to occur, typically to public outcry. In June 2015, police in Overton, Texas told children running a lemonade stand that they would need to apply for a permit and check with the health department before selling perishable food.

In 2018, Country Time created Legal-Ade, which pays up to $300 of the legal fees for lemonade stands fined in 2017 or 2018, or for 2018 permits.

The New York Legislature took up a bill in 2019 that, if passed, will explicitly make lemonade stands operated by minors legal and exempt from most regulations. As of that summer, fourteen U.S. states explicitly allow operation of a lemonade stand without a permit. WindowsWorld (talk) 17:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Standard offer
I am very willing to come back to Wikipedia and make helpful and useful contributions and be civil, however much my editing history may not show that. I want to show this as much as I can to the community, so I have considered taking the standard offer. That also means no talk page edits. As long as I'm eligible, see you November 24. WindowsWorld (talk) 05:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Addressing some stuff (Bbb23, please read)
Today I decided that instead of waiting around doing nothing, I would address the reasons behind my block and hopefully make some stuff clear. Note: THIS IS NOT AN UNBLOCK REQUEST.

When I first began editing Wikipedia, I kind of had trouble editing effectively. For a while I made several disruptive and/or experimental changes, despite the flood of warnings popping up on my talk page. I hadn't really gotten the grasp of Wikipedia's more technical pages, for I was an unexperienced editor. In reality I should have at least listened to the warnings instead of just ignoring them, thinking that there's no problem with my editing. Understandably, I was later blocked indefinitely by Bbb23. I tried to take the second chance I was offered by making an edit to Lemonade stand, but I blew even that chance of getting a return. In retrospect, my behaviour prior to my block was disruptive, repetitive, and a waste of time for the many administrators spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep this encyclopedia from a complete state of disruption and disrepair. If any involved adminstrators are currently reading this, I formally apologise for my lack of competence and repeated ignorance of several warnings. However, times have changed. Ever since a while ago, I have wanted to take responsibility for my behaviour and show Wikipedia that I can edit competently and communicate adequately. Understandably, however, my editing history may not have shown that. I have familiarised myself with behavioural guidelines and basic editing policies more and more since I was blocked, and am starting to understand more what was wrong with my editing and the reasons I was blocked. Namely, WP:CIR and GETTHEPOINT. To make things clear, this is not an unblock request, I am just trying my best to address issues with my editing and show that I can finally get the point.
