The fine specifications here depend on the style in which one's paper is being written (MLA, Chicago, etc.). If I were forced to make broad generalizations, I would say facts, figures, outside opinions, and (of course) direct quotes (including any paraphrasing or summarizing of a quote) need to be referenced. To make one single generalization I would say anything that one did not know before starting research on the subject of the paper (i.e. anything that would not be considered "common knowledge") needs to be referenced. But, again, every writing style has different rules and for exact specifications one really must find a manual for the specific writing style.

The most common style is probably MLA and an excellent handbook for that style can be accessed for free at <http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01>.
