 District of Safed 

Hi, regarding your edit at Dallata.  Because there are quite a few examples of more than one village in Palestine of the same name, we usually identify which district of Palestine it was in (sometimes even in the article name). The unwritten convention among the editors who work on the village articles is to use the 1945-8 districts since that is what most modern sources use.  See Districts of the British Mandate of Palestine, last section, where you will notice that we should be calling them ""sub-districts"" rather than ""districts"".  Also, writing that a village was in Mandatory Palestine won't do, since that entity only lasted about 25 years but most of the villages were there for centuries.  Saying that they were in Palestine would be more accurate.  It can be confusing, but I think ""Palestine"" along with the past tense is about the best short solution.  What are your thoughts (please reply here)?  talk "
