The three situations, when attributions are not necessary, are: 1. Common knowledge. If the information is a well-known fact it's widely used and doesn't represent a particular author. common 2. Background information. If there are many sources that provide the same information, so it's not an idea of a particular author. 3. Observation. If the information is your own idea, a result of your own research and observation.
