I think both of these passages which concern the lordship of Eregion allow for an interpretation in sync with "Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn." Neither text says who founded Eregion, and both only refer to the fact that Celebrimbor was lord there at some point. I think there is really no contradiction here at all, simply ambiguity (this seems to be a recurring statement in this thread.)

As for the proposed specific edits, I would need to see them in practice to judge how I view them. Frankly, my conception of the Second Age drafts is not concrete, as I only had brief and general directions to put my own version together. Once I can review some specific drafts for the Second Age, I will be better able to give an opinion. Going forward from there, I can deal better with their Third Age movements (such as they are) since I compiled the entirety of the drafts for the Third Age myself.
