Arwen vs. Galadriel

Which quote do you have in mind? It can be found in the People's of Middle Earth, which provide as a lot of details about how Tolkien developed the Appendixes.

These statements do not make the LOTR Appendix and are not fully cannon, but Arwen's role as Queen of Elves is retained. The statements here give some indication of what Tolkien intended by that title.

I was actually hoping you could cite the specific source of this line you quoted in an earlier post:

And the descendants of Elessar through Arwen became also heirs of the western elf-realms of the westlands.

Do you think there is significance in the fact that this quote appears in the draft from The Peoples of Middle Earth, but was ommited (presumably deliberately) from the published LotR appendices?
