You could argue that it wouldn't be appropriate for
the Greek
article to translate the reference section since those probably
aren't the references the translator is working from. I'm fine
with that. But shouldn't the English Wikipedia be cited as
a reference? And shouldn't direct quotes, like the Old Norse
text in this article, be sourced to their origin?
So, what do you reference pedants have to say
about all this? :)
I can't find it at the moment, but there was a page on en: somewhere
giving some guidelines for this that seemed reasonable enough to me:
1) Note somewhere at the bottom "This article or an earlier version is
based on the English Wikipedia article [blah]." (Similar to the
"originally from EB 1911" notices.)
2) Put somewhere in the references section, or possibly in another
reference section after it, "The English Wikipedia version of this
article cited the following sources: [...]."
