Except encyclopedias don't have _actual sources_. They are based on source but don't include references as far as I remember.

They very much do have citations as I recall. Maybe not the junior encyclopedias they had your grade school, but any proper encyclopedia had citations.

I was going to tell you that you're wrong, but in looking it up I found far more examples of encyclopedias without sources than with, so maybe that was more common.
