  • Shue is the franchise's all-time leader in regular-season games coached and wins, Jones is the franchise's all-time leader in regular-season winning percentage.[8] Dick Motta is the franchise's all-time leader in playoff games coached and wins, as well as playoff-game winning percentage.
  • What are the statistics? They should be elaborated here.
  • Table: 1 Championship (1978)[19]
  • Should be NBA Championship (1978)[ref]--TruCo 23:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Chicago/Baltimore/Capital/Washington Packers/Zephyrs/Bullets/Wizards" in the footnote looks ridiculous. Consider rewording to "the current Washington franchise" or something similar.
    • Yeah, I know, I just wanted to see reviewers' opinion before changing it :D. Reworded. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The years of establishment are in the table, so they don't need to be in the colspans as well.
    • I don't understand what you mean. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • In the colspans, all that you need is the team name, not the years as well. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I know, but since the team had five different names, I believe the clarifications in the colspans are necessary. It doesn't detract from the table's appearance, so I don't see the point in removing them. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • As per the other basketball coach FLs, each year should be linked to that team's season in the table.
  • "Jones is the franchise's all-time leader in regular-season winning percentage (.630)." - link winning percentage.
  • "Since their formation, the Wizards have won 6 divisional championships, 4 conference championships, 1 league championship" - six, four, one.
    • Look at the full sentence: "Since their formation, the Wizards have won 6 divisional championships, 4 conference championships, 1 league championship and have appeared in the playoffs 23 times." Per MOSNUM, comparative quantities should be written the same way. If you still want me to write out the numbers, I would have write out 23 (twenty-three) also. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I did see that, but I don't read it as a comparative unit since it's part of a dependent clause. I suppose that it could be considered as such since there is no comma separating it from the main clause of the sentence. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Done, I just wrote everything out. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, well-written and well-constructed. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:38, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, I replied or actioned upon them. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Link Chicago.
  • I'm for sure that the Wizards have had different colors in their franchise. Just look at the picture of the Baltimore Bullets logo on Washington Wizards. Google the other names to see if they had different colors than the current ones.

Wow...I guess that's it... -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 07:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I found a very useful web site for finding team colors [2]. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why is the Washington Wizards color like that? Can you change it back to the way it was? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 23:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
