Glorfindel

Ah, my bad Fin, I was unaware of this idea. This makes more sense as it avoids a sticky in-universe justification for the edits we make.

Reading it as plain text, this is repetitive:

Glorfindel means ‘Golden-tressed’, and was the name given to the heroic Ñoldo, a chieftain of Gondolin, who in the pass of Cirith Thoronath (‘Eagle-cleft’) fought with a Demon, whom he slew at the cost of his own life.

He was slain in the Fall of Gondolin at the end of the First Age, and was a chieftain of that city and a Ñoldo, one of the Elf-lords in the host of King Turukáno (Turgon).

You are right we have to eliminat that repetition. What about this editing:

GLOR-SL-01 <Glorfindel II GLOR-SL-02c{This name is in fact derived from the earliest work on the mythology: The Fall of Gondolin, composed in 1916-17, in which the Elvish language that ultimately became that of the type called Sindarin was in a primitive and unorganized form, and its relation with the High-elven type (itself very primitive) was still haphazard.

And in plain text that means:

Glorfindel means 'Golden-tressed', and was the name given to the heroic Ñoldo, a chieftain of Gondolin, one of the Elf-lords in the host of King Turukáno (Turgon), who in the pass of Cirith Thoronath ('Eagle-cleft') fought with a Demon, whom he slew at the cost of his own life at the end of the First Age.
