You can see clearly the body of a female wearing pink clothes, right in middle of fuselage. What's wrong with you?

But the one showing in your headlines, you did not blurred. Please take it down.…

Hire me as your new editor. Or don't, but please review your articles before posting.
This article is riddled with errors - misspellings and a general lack of care for the piece. Posting articles in this state calls into question the integrity of your pieces as well as the standards under which you operate. If you care to report legitimate news, you will do it correctly. http://news.yahoo.com/obamas-military-budget-mistake-200000454.html

Wrong pictures on articles
Story titled "Georgia parents who kept boy locked in basement to surrender: police" has a picture of a boy from an different story. This is very unfair to the child and his parents.

You still need to improve filtering of your news stories by region - Brazil, China, Viet Nam, and Thailand are not in the Middle East.

First off, it's "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine". Second, do you guys even know what an editor is? Or proofreading?
First off, it's "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine". Second, do you guys even know what an editor is? Or proofreading? I almost NEVER see an article on Yahoo News that isn't filled with spelling errors, improper grammar and complete lack of verification.

Improve Editing in Yahoo News Articles
The editing in articles on your website needs care and attention. So many typos! I can't take Yahoo News seriously with such shoddy oversight. The Tim Skillern article about the "clock turning back" on American women has typos that call into question the care Tim and team took in preparing the article. The writing lacks narrative structure--it jumps from Hillary to others without introducing a connecting thread. I thought I was somehow reading a different article. The first sentence of the article notes an "essay that published this week" without directly citing that essay (no location or title). Interestingly, it's…

Typos
It is almost unreal how many typos and poor sentences appear in Will Lerner's stories. I was reading one story and found 5. That's ridiculous.

enough with the ads. I watched three vids and saw the same ad for all. If anything I'll boycott that certain ad. I had to go somewhere else
Three vids, three of the SAME ad. Makes me mad at the ad and not want to support it. Lay off the ads

the story about Nita.. the FONT is really almost unreadable that is used for the title.
the use of whatever FONT that is used on the story of Nita Dittenbar is horrible. I could barely make out what it said. Just unreadable. I think you all should refrain from using that font.

Proof reading
There isn't just ONE typo or mistake, the yahoo articles seem to be RIDDLED with them. the most recent example (shudder), the article about Gwen Stefani posting a "chubby" photo of herself. Within the article the author cites "ridged beauty standards". It's RIGID, how can a journalist not know simple things like this? How can this have passed the peer review QA/QC stage? Most articles have atrocious sentence structure, segments where it's obvious someone didn't finish what they were going to say, or left a word or phrase out, and so on. I mean, I realize that most of these…
