[edit] It's been a long road
When I came onto this wikia, it has been pretty much left to dust. I understand the creator of this wikia was just simply too busy to maintain it. The basic infrastructure is there but it lacks so much in categorizing articles, which is one of the first things I did to fix. Anyone who has visited Transformers wikia will recognize some of the styles and format I borrowed for the improvement of Joepedia.
I also added Joepedia in relevant categories in Entertainment Wikia. Also moved Joepedia name to... what else? G.I. Joe. People are more likely to type in G.I. Joe than Joepedia in the search box. Hopefully, this will bring in more traffic to Joepedia. --Destron Commander 16:09, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. There is much work to be done for this Wiki. I've started on the Sunbow episodes; Built the layout and will be filling in details as time allows. Adapted a few of the handy templates from the Transformers wiki. Hopefully, this place will start filling out soon.NebulanFree 22:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redesigned main page
I redesigned the look of the main page in the hope that Joepedia would be more inviting for all types of G.I. Joe fans. After going through newsgroups trying to invite anyone to come on board, I realized that some 12" Joe fans regard RAH with some disdain. I wanted Joepedia to be all-encompampassing since I know references to the 12" ancestor will be eventually be referred to in other lines. Oh, I'd change the Joepedia logo to something more inviting for all but I'm not an administrator. --Destron Commander 15:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- I may fiddle around with your main page design, just to tweak some things here and there, since I've spent a long time designing my own site's logos. I think it's a good idea to include all aspects of G.I. Joe. It may attract some old school collectors. Along those lines, I thought I'd try to make a new logo for the site. It actually turned out better than I thought it would. :) It incorporates the Adventure Team logo, and includes Grunt -- a fairly generic soldier. As you said, we can't change the logo, but I uploaded it, anyway. --JMM 16:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- That image rocks!! I approve!! I wonder if we should put a small "G.I. Joe Wiki" just underneath. --Destron Commander 14:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I was considering adding that, but I thought the titles on the rest of the page may explain that just as well. I'll think about adding on to the image. Though, I kind of like how the logo turned out and don't wanna mess with it. :) --JMM 15:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I hereby raise my hand in approval of the new logo. Who's with me? Let's try to get Wikia's community staff to help change it for us. --Destron Commander 10:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simple, but ingenous request.
Put an image upload button SOMEWHERE on the f* site. ANYWHERE would be better than nowhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.246.120.108 (talk • contribs) 06:41, January 19, 2008.
- Is this a prank? If you are serious, then you must not that be awfully familiar with wiki interface. All I can suggest is you study this wiki's interface carefully as it is no different from Wikia's other wikis. --Destron Commander 09:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yes, I am familiar- I’m the guy that did the Rolling Thunder and HiSS articles.
- I want to help- I just don’t want to sign up. There’s not reason I can understand that if I tried uploading an inappropriate img, that staff (such as yourself) can’t remove it (perhaps with a few very unkind words).
- And to clarify, I meant “img upload other than members only” (that’s my own fault for being unclear). --4.246.120.88 02:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Andy REDDSON
- Oh, that? I'm guessing it's a built-in security thing in all wikis. Vandalizing articles is one thing, they can always be edited back. But uploading obscene images, they're going to stay until an administrator deletes them. And we don't have a full-time admin right now. Not saying you're a vandal, just saying that this could be the reason why you need to log in. --Destron Commander 02:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hadn't nioticed anything like that before, but for a quick refrence I swung over to Wookiepedia, and it appears I was wrong.
- Pity- I don't want to sign up (way too much hassle, no reward, been there done that), but now I got these pics taking up space, and nothing useful to do with them:(
- Oh, and I got the Maggot and WORMS articles going.

- Alright, even as a member, I can’t upload images. ¿Now what?
- Uh, nevermind. My bad.
[edit] Nice idea
Kudos to Buttbutt for putting the Resolute portal front and center. It's an excellent idea to get people in to work on the latest incarnation of G.I. Joe. --Destron Commander 11:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Please correct the trivia...
Cobra Island was not formed by a nuke. Issue 40 has an in-comic debate about the potential environmental effects. Doc heads off that plan and come up with having kilotons of TNT used instead to get the destructive force without the radiation and such. The comic actually went out of the way to explain all this, and yet the information here is wrong. People coming here for information should not be getting incorrect trivia on the front page!
