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.
