Glorfindriel:

The Galadhrim does not only refer to the Silvan Elves of Lorien but to all the Elves there, which would include Sindar and a few Noldor.
Note, the HoME index is rather unhelpful here. However, this is clearly the case as Galadriel calls Celeborn Galadhrim.

Source: FotR, 2007 p. 463, spoken by Galadriel: "If our folk had been exiled long and far from Lothlórien, who of the Galadhrim, even Celeborn the Wise, would pass nigh and would not wish to look upon their ancient home, though it had become an abode of dragons?"

The '''Galadhrim''' were the [[Silvan Elves]] that inhabited the woods of [[Lothlórien]].
==History==
Some of the [[Nandor]], the [[Teleri|Telerin Elves]] who abandoned the march of the [[Eldar]] on the eastern side of the [[Misty Mountains]], settled down in the [[Vales of Anduin]] and later on established the realms of [[Mirkwood]] in the north and [[Lothlórien|Lórien]] in the south of [[Mirkwood|Greenwood the Great]].

In the beginning the Elves of Lórien were a small and scattered people, but after the [[War of Wrath]] at the beginning of the [[Second Age]] many of the [[Sindar]] of [[Beleriand]] migrated eastward. The Silvan Elves of Lórien welcomed them. The coming of the Sindar was a great boost to the power and culture of the Silvan Elves. The Silvan language was replaced by Sindarin.

The arrival of one in particular affected the Nandor of Laurelindórenan: the coming of a Sinda named [[Amdír]]. He took over Laurelindórenan. Under his leadership the people of Lórien prospered and their numbers grew. But Amdir was slain in the [[Battle of Dagorlad]] along with most of the army of Lórien. And [[Amroth]] his son grew weary of [[Middle-earth]] and wished to go to [[Valinor]]. But he drowned in the [[Bay of Belfalas]].

In her wisdom [[Galadriel]] saw that Lórien would be a stronghold and a point of power to prevent the shadow from crossing the Anduin, for the Galadhrim were hardy and valiant. But they needed a ruler of greater strength and wisdom than they possessed. That is why Galadriel and [[Celeborn]] took up their permanent abode in Lórien and its government. Under the leadership of Galadriel and Celeborn the Galadhrim prospered and their skill grew. They became proficient in making [[Lembas]], [[Elven rope]], Elven-cloaks and many other crafts.

The Galadhrim defended their home against [[orcs]], who attacked around the end of the [[Third Age]], just before [[Sauron]] was destroyed. The Galadhrim weathered all of the attacks. For a more complete history of these battles, see [[Lothlórien]].

==Etymology==
''Galadhrim'' is a [[Sindarin]] name meaning "Tree-people". The name consists of ''[[galadh]]'' ("tree") + ''[[rim|rim(b)]]'' ("great number").<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 50</ref> See also LotR (50th) p. 341.

In the first edition of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''Galadhrim'' was spelt ''Galadrim''. In later editions, this was emended to the former, which [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] had decided was the correct Sindarin form.<ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 305</ref>

Glorfindriel: The Galadhrim really should likely only include those Silvan Elves who abided in Lothlorien...

The Galadhrim really should likely only include those Silvan Elves who abided in Lothlorien, whereas this article postulates that the term includes the Silvan Elves who lived in Mirkwood.
(See for e.g., LotR (50th) page 341).
In fact it may well be that any Elves living in trees were Galadhrim, though Legolas implies it refers specifically to the "Elves of Lorien". Of course, this may well have included some Sindar and a few Noldor as all inhabitants of the Golden Wood lived in flets etc., i.e., in the trees. Note, the HoME index is rather unhelpful here.
In short I think Galadhrim in fact simply refers to the Elves (of all kindreds) who dwell in Lothlorien.
