Check out www.wizznutzz.com, which is a pretty popular Wizards blog that talks about Jahidi all the time. I think they make him a notable player.
As for Juan Dixon, I think he gets on this list for the same reason as Jordan. Neither were all that important as Wizards, but Juan will remain a legend in the DC area for Maryland's NCAA championship and so I think is worth listing as a notable player. Also, Juan had a huge game in Game 4 of the Wizards-Bulls series, which is notable since it was the first playoff series the Wizards won in 20 years. I'll certainly never forget it.
Why is Jahidi White in the "Not to be forgotten" section? He really isn't that good. Reference the following stats: [1]
- I would also like to nominate Juan Dixon as well. Today he is remembered but will people remember him being on the team ten years from now? OsFan 21:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Barely even a mention of Michael Jordan on this page?
- He's mentioned on hall of famers that were on the team. That is the appropriate note. The rest is on goes on his page, not the team's page. -- Robert Wm "Ruedii" ( talk) 04:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
- Correction: it seems there is a whole section on his years with the team as well. It falls just short of WP:UNDUE, however considering the amount of press it had at the time, I wouldn't put it off as unimportant. -- Robert Wm "Ruedii" ( talk) 04:59, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
I take exception to this statement: "to bring a professional sports championship to Washington D.C. for the first time in 36 years." Thats only true if you don't count the three Negro League World Series won by the Homestead Grays in 1943, 1944, & 1948. I suppose one could argue that the Grays played most of the home games in Pa., so they're not really a Washington, D.C. team, but the Bullets played all of their home games in Landover in 1977-78. -- D.

File:BaltimoreBullets.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thats not the new logo, what happened to the DC one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.118.136.252 ( talk) 10:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- I agree. It seems the "dc" logo is the team's new primary, not the new version if the wizard and moon one. This needs to be changed. oknazevad ( talk) 15:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- The Wizards web site makes it clear that the "dc" logo is a secondary logo:
- With the color shift, the team introduced two new secondary logos. One of the new marks is a lowercase “dc,”... -- Wizards Unveil New Logos and Uniforms

So I've been reading over the Jordan years and wanted to offer a suggestion. I suggest that some of the statistics be cited to verify the information. What do you guys think? -- Dcdarb ( talk) 02:39, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Since when is some guy named Floyd Wang on the roster? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.31.230 ( talk) 01:27, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the infobox tell what sport and league it is? Soerfm ( talk) 16:17, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
According to the article, "In 1963 the franchise moved to Baltimore, Maryland, and became the Baltimore Bullets (no relation to the 1940s–50s Baltimore Bullets BAA/NBA franchise)," yet they both seemingly share the same logo: My guess is that it's the old logo of the Wizards (formerly the Bullets) and not associated with the other short lived team from 1944-1954. Anyone know for sure? If they actually do share the same logo, then one of these images can be deleted. Jauerback dude?/ dude. 02:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I saw the Bullets play at Cole Field House In the early 1970's as "The Baltimore-Washington Bullets." This was a short lived moniker, as they were being transferred from Baltimore to D.C., where they would play in the newly built Capital Centre as the Washington Bullets. I won't add this to the article, but old Washington Post and Baltimore Sun sports articles will confirm this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMadison ( talk • contribs) 08:29, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Hayes has defensive and offensive record, yet Unseld has total record, that is more than the sum of Hayes's records. Unseld has to have at least one of them (Unless no distinction was made between offensive and defensive rebounds)

A link at Oscar Robertson to the Chicago Packers leads to this page, with a note at the top, 'redirected from Chicago Packers.' How-ever, there is no mention of a team by this name in this article. What's the deal? Kdammers ( talk) 08:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, now I see: Packers and Zephyrs are previous names, mentioned in the box on the right. The search function did not show that. Kdammers ( talk) 08:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
The name change to Zephyrs from Packers coincided with the move from International Amphitheater to the Coliseum which was necessitated because the city's main convention venue, the original McCormick Place, was destroyed by fire and the city needed the Amphitheater to house conventions. I'm not sure how a concrete building got destroyed by fire, but it was an ugly thing on the lakefront and needed to go. Did some city officials decide to play with matches? I didn't say that they did, mind you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.66.253 ( talk) 17:32, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Some of the article seems kind of depressing, and is worded, just, in kind of a depressing tone. But I guess that is unavoidable. Zdawg1029 ( talk) 01:03, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

John Wall is technically still on the Wizards. So the John Wall era isn’t over until he leaves the Wizards by trade, free agency, and or retirement. If John Wall is waived from the Wizards roster this will count as free Agency Jared L 9999 ( talk) 15:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
