I think as long as you put the content in your own words and it's significantly re-worded then there's no need to cite the source. Now of course if people are taking excerpts and full paragraphs from other articles then by right, yes, you should always cite the source. But if you have an article with a lot of the same info as someone else's yet it's re-worded most people never cite. Not saying it's right, but they generally don't.
