Ok, let me put it like this:

If you are playing a table-top game, and during an IC discussion between your character and the character of the other player, the other player suddenly pulls a sourcebook out of his backpack and has his character say to yours 'you are wrong, look, it says right here that I'm right' while pointing at the relevant page of the sourcebook.

I would think that is poor RP at best, and a horrible crossing of IC and OOC boundaries at worst.

Indeed, but what if said character produces an IC encyclopedia instead of the sourcebook ? Would it be legitimate ?

It boils down essentially to whether people consider evelopedia IC or not.

That's also why I never directly link evelopedia articles on the IGS. To my eyes, it is poor form.
