Re Palestine/Falastin this article by Prof. Shimon Shamir is instructive: https://www.the7eye.org.il/27274 . In light of this, it seems to me that romanization should be determined by the Hebrew spelling. If it's spelled with a samekh and tet (פלסטיני, פלסטין), then it's Falastin, Falastini, etc.. But if it's spelled with sin and tav, then it's Palestinah, Palestina'i (פלשתינה, פלשתינאי). Rav-milim and Morfix have both forms. And we shouldn't be confusing the two, even if the usage is sloppy.
