Looking around it would appear that this page is incorrectly named.
Various sources talk about the "Balfour Definition" of 1926 or the "Balfour Report" , use of the word "Declaration" appears to be a minority position (probably to avoid confusion with the 1917 one).
on the other hand some sources use "Declaration" . I would suggest we use "Definition" since (a) it is at least as if not more common that "Declaration" and (b) it avoids the ambiguity.

- Hmm. I've become used to it being refered to as the Balfour Declaration; amongst those who use that term seems to be the Australian government (see [1]), and you'd expect them to know, as it were...

- I've hit various books and it seems to be a mix, perhaps a brief bit on this page listing the alternative term(s) and a forward to this page for them? SimonLyall 11:18, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Sounds like worth considering changing this title or at least putting another in. the Balfour Dec re Israel is SO much more well known and the confusion seems likely. I only came here cos I thought it was wrong!
Also, I don't understand a bit of the english/meaning- "The document was not accepted the growing..." was this meant to be "did not accept" or "was not accepted because..." or what?IceDragon64 23:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
