On the contrary I was actually correcting incorrect information. The proper form of word is "localvore" a portmanteau of the english word "local" and the suffix "-vore", Latin meaning 'to devour'. It is not "locavore" which would be a portmanteau of "loca", which is Spanish for crazy and "-vore". That is something completely different! I appreciate your concern and I know that you reverted my edit in good faith, I can assure you there are no hard feelings :) Happy editing! 64.222.110.145 (talk) 16:59, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The point is, not what you consider to be the correct form, but what the source states. According to the source, a dictionary listed "locavore" as a word of the year. If tyou think ythe dictionary is wrong, argue with them; if you think the newspaper is wrong, argue with them. In either case, our role here is to repeat what a reliable source stated, not to "correct" this. RolandR (talk) 17:10, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, That isn't what the source says, please see the talk page before reverting my edits. 64.222.110.145 (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is: "Last year, the New Oxford American Dictionary picked locavore as its word of the year."RolandR (talk) 17:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that source. Well it's a pity the dictionary couldn't get it right, but if that's how it stands, then we ought to include it, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I thought it was just some troll with a bee in their bonnet about local foods trying to make it seem crazy. 64.222.110.145 (talk) 17:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
