A site in the Yahoo! Directory can significantly change content or start redirecting to another site after it has been reviewed by a Yahoo! editor. If a listing in the Yahoo! Directory is redirecting to inappropriate or offensive content please report them to us so we can take the necessary steps to remove the site from our index. You can start this process by clicking the Contact Customer Care button on this page to report this issue to the Yahoo! Directory Support Department.

Our primary goal is to provide quick, intuitive access to the wide variety of information available on the Web. We do not aim to judge web content for appropriateness or to censor materials that we find offensive or inappropriate. Instead, we present information as it is reflected on the Web, allowing you to draw your own informed conclusions about what you see. If you know of sites that offer an opposing point of view, we welcome the opportunity to review them for possible inclusion.

If you've found a site that seems inappropriate for its category, you can report it to us so we can make sure the site is reviewed. Please be sure to include the site's URL along with the Yahoo! Directory category where the site is located. You can start this process by clicking the Contact Customer Care button on this page to report this issue to the Yahoo! Directory Support Department.

Note: Please remember to include the Yahoo! Directory category where the site is listed and the site's URL.

For example:

URL:www.offending site.com
Directory Category:Directory > Arts > Humanities > Literature > Genres > Children's > Poetry

Uniform Resource Locator - the full address of a page or site on the Internet. Example: http://www.yahoo.com
