Well, since we don't have a site called "Metapedia"...

That's probably because they're Meta-Wikipedia pages, not Metapedia
pages. They _ought_ be to explicitly linked to the Wikipedia name,
because they're explicitly part of the Wikipedia project. However, they
shouldn't say "Encyclopedia article from", as they are not part of the
_encyclopedia_ Wikipedia, but are meta-discussion about the _project_
Wikipedia.
