text: well, under the search bar on the left of your wikipedia screen, there's the toolbox. there should be an "upload file" link there. you can upload the file there and choose whatever licensing you want, whether you want them to be freely distributable or you want to retain the copyright. then you can add them to the article by typing  in the article. let me know if you have any problems doing it or any more questions.--Alhutch 18:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: * I have found that this article needs alot of clean up.  There is alot of POV, and uncessary information regarding the man.  Weasle words such as "His Critics point out" has nothing to do with biography.  Limited playmaking ability? Who said that? You MUST Cite it. Leave the FANFare out of the article.
*I'm going to try and do a lot of cleanup on this article, at least in terms of the content.  Hopefully when I'm done the article will be a lot more coherent.  There's a lot of good stuff in this article, but it clearly was written by many different authors and needs some to go through and mesh it all together. Hopefully I can do that. I just started with the intro but I will get to everything.  
One thing that I would like to get into more is Arenas rapid ascent to basketball super stardom.  "Super stardom" is a subjective term - I certainly realize that - but a very real transformation happened last winter.  A truly perfect storm of events occurred that catapulted Gilbert up in the public consciousness - the 50 point games, the game winners against the Jazz and Milwaulkee, the party hosted by Diddy, the rise of the basketball blogsphere etc.  As Slam magazine put it, Gilbert is the first blog superstar.  Gilbert became a superstar differently - and more quickly- than anyone other basketball player before him.  The  unprecedented deficit he overcame against Vince Carter to start in the all-star game is testament to this.  I think this article, while remaining a neutral source, should tell that story.

thread_title: Featured Article

message: There is a comment on this page regarding Gilbert Arenas's meeting a young boy and taking him in as his little brother.  I found this website that refers to how the two met:  
http://www.jockbio.com/Bios/Arenas/Arenas_numbers.html 
but I do not know how to add it as a reference citation for this page.  Also, on 1-14-07 at 6:00 p.m. I saw an episode of Sportscenter Presents: Stories of Inspiration which featured Gilbert Arenas (and others).  In this episode, the little boy talks about the tragic fire that killed his family and how he has bonded with Gilbert.  Unfortunately there is no direct website for this show.  This would be another source for the "little brother" trivia comment.  Any clues? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Traicye (talk • contribs) 09:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Wait - are you talking about adding the text in the section above this one? I can't do that either, because you've drawn conclusions from the second source. Read the WaPo article again - nobody 'tried' to do anything. The lawyers 'threatened to serve', which is a big difference from 'tried to serve'. Reform your request, please. :-) KrakatoaKatie 06:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
