   It is permissable to cite OCLC headings for qualifiers needed to break 
conflicts even if those headings have not been "established" with 
explanations of the original source(s) of the information.

   You need not explain the language of the bib. record you are taking 
reference from or much else about it. I used to cite the OCLC #, but 
even that is discouraged (according to a former NACO coordinator here). 
The simplest way to state your data is:

OCLC, [date of observation] $b (hdg.: Karlsson, Jens, 1972; usage: Jens 
Karlsson)
