[edit] dicdef articles
Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and writing articles which merely define terms doesn't actually contribute to the goals of the site. For example, your article, Absorption (Pharmacokinetics) is just a dictionary definition of the term. If you had added this as a section to Digestion, then perhaps you could have improved that article, but as it is, it's just what we refer to as a "dicdef", and such articles are typically merged or removed at some point. Don't feel bad, though. This is a very common misunderstanding of the purpose of Wikipedia for newcomers. Thank you for your contributions, and happy editing! -Harmil 13:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
