Hey Jarrin,
Will help add authority to your site if you link the information back to their site.

I link and “ sources. For me it’s just easier and it gives the reader quicker access to the info if they want it.

Having outgoing links to credible authority websites can boost your SEO. Jay teaches this in his SEO webinars.
You can make the link open in a new window so the visitor does not actually leave your site.
Anyone who visits that external link is clearly interested in US energy data. You're purpose is to help readers get the right information. If it were me, I would link it. ~Jude
In the newspaper world, when we use facts or data, we state something like this, “According to the blah blah blah report from the 2016 U.S. Department of Energy, fact fact fact.”
At the end you can use something like footnotes to document your sources. Just another idea.

Just a quick opinion -- yes, always give credit where credit is due... in this case, depending upon your blog -- is it a review or is it simply additional information for the reader? ... and is it necessary or desirable for them to leave your post to go elsewhere i.e. link... and perhaps not return to your post... so best to perhaps then state the information source.... ? ... always options to consider... hope this helps you a wee bit... cheerio.. :)
on the same page with a lot of what your saying, give credit yes but do i want the viewer to navigate away no.
Hi Jarrin,
If you have a clear statement about the original source, you don't need to link them
Regards,
Zed
That is kind of what i was thinking.
so in the paragraph that i used the data i have written "o work this out i used data from U.S energy information administration website"
do you think that will suffice?

Whilst my WA rank has been steadily increasing i have noticed that my creator rank has reamained at 107000 and not budged... I consistently help others, i have written a few bl
Though you would have to create trainings and blogs to get your creator rank to move, it has nothing to do with how many you have.
I have a creator rank of 6 yet I have much less blogs and trainings than others with ranks of 7, 8 9, 10 and more. Though creating a lot of blogs and trainings is required it is about quality and not quantity.
You're Creation rank increases with everything you create here, you have created 4 blogs now, and no training, when you start blogging regularly at WA it will go up, I have rank 10 and produced 745 blogs and 100+ training here. The Creation rank has nothing to do with giving comments
Just a thought consider adding more badges on your training level, I can see you are still on with level 1 badge.
It does over time for sure, for guidance on how to improve this, check the rank adviser under your photo, its explains how to get higher up. It also depends on who is active in and around you as well.
