Wiki is fine as a starting point, and it really depends on the links supporting it. If the references are fine I generally take them.
As for her knowing, yes she should have. If she didn't have preconceived ideas of what was "desirable" and "undesirable" it is a natural question to ask. However, since she already knew, then it never dawned on her to ask the question.
