With respect to quoting earlier work, if one is knowingly basing one's work on previous work by other people, the only correct thing to do is to state this and/or quote it, of course.
If one is writing about a topic that was previously discussed by someone else, one may or may not mention this other work, depending on its relevance. General courtesy is never a bad idea.
However, it is better to quote no source than to give an incorrect or inappropriate one.
