Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nicholas robert townsend may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects.

It's not quite true that nothing gets by. We try, but vandalism, nonsense edits, and just plain wrong info gets in all the time. Your teacher's actually right. A lot of us try to keep an eye on articles (for some reason, people are always trying to add false information to Charles Dickens so I keep a watch on that one). Wikipedia may be a good first step in researching, to find pointers to other places to look, but don't rely on everything here being gospel. Confirm everything from other sources.
