"Well-known reference books, such as major dictionaries and encyclopedias, are normally cited in notes rather than in bibliographies....If a physical edition is cited, not only the edition number (if not the first) but also the date the volume or set was issued must be specified. References to an alphabetically arranged work cite the item (not the volume or page number) preceded by s.v. (sub verbo, "under the word"; pl. s.v.v)" (Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed., pp. 858).

Online reference works are normally cited in the notes; not in the bibliography. "The title of a website that is analogous to a traditionally printed work but does not have (and never had) a printed counterpart can be treated like the titles of other websites...with roman rather than italics for the title" (Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed., pp. 845).
In this example, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography has a print counterpart so the title is italicized. Wikipedia does not have a print counterpart so the title is not italicized.
