If we're using verbatim text it should be quoted with a source attribution so we're at least not claiming we wrote it. At minimum any information coming from a databook should be properly cited with a reference to which databook and page it came from. I'm of the mindset that this should include ages, heights, weights and blood types inside infoboxes. I recall bringing this up before, but I've always wondered why those sections in infoboxes never had any visible references. Especially since we'd have editors calculating ages and inserting them in infoboxes willy-nilly in the past.
