The section on the comics history of this character makes up the majority of the article, and I believe it's summary of the character's history is far too detailed and breathless in tone to be encyclopedic. It's not much of a summary - in places it lapses into a blow-by-blow description of fight scenes. The Marvel section alone has over 30 exclamation marks, all outside of quotes - here's a few examples:
"Hearing the commotion, Anastasia opens the door, to find the American soldier standing over her brother with a smoking gun!"
"The Baroness then pilots a small aircraft, saving the Commander from the Fort’s explosive destruction!"
"Not only has Dr. Venom has betrayed them, but the G.I.Joe team has discovered the location of the lab! How?"
"The HISS goes out of control and rolls on its side, leaking fuel in the middle of a firefight! Badly hurt, the Baroness begs Major Bludd to help her get free, but he leaves her alone as the HISS explodes around her!"
"Then, in a grand gesture of his love, he activates a series of levers in the Silent Castle, causing it to transform, and reconfigure into a larger, more majestic version of Castle Destro, proving his love is everlasting!"
I'd hate to delete a lot of content without providing a replacement, and I'm not familiar with the source material so I don't know if I could summarize this in a better fashion. Is there anybody familiar with this character who could provide a more concise and less enthusiastic summary of this material?

I went ahead and replaced the 31 exclamation marks with periods, it still needs a lot of pruning but it reads a bit better this way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.76.48 ( talk) 21:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Her real name is Anastasia DeCobray? She wears glasses? Anyone remember Anastasia Newkirk?

Maybe I missed it but shouldn't there be something in this article about how the Baroness first appeared in the comic books rather than the action figure line like most G.I. Joe action figures? 24.178.211.155 17:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Issues have been raised by more than one person regarding the length of sections of this article and the absence of citations. It would be greatly helpful if project members would pitch in and try to get this article under control. One major point is the section Marvel (Volume 1). The section should be a much briefer summary of the plot, rather than a nearly step by step retelling of the plot. Other sections need work as well. Thanks.

Guys, please stop edit warring and discuss the disagreement here. I agree with Marc-Olivier Pagé. Adding a plot subsection in a section already devoted to the movie is unnecessary and redundant. Just because other pages are a certain way doesn't mean that GI Joe pages have to or even should be.-- Ridge Runner ( talk) 03:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't know a lot about the G.I. Joe series or comics, but shouldn't " Yazuka" be Yakuza? (Unless it was misspelled in the comics, whether intentionally or accidentally.) — Sasoriza ( talk) 15:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
it never really states he real name in the article, just starts referring to her by it. Also, it seems like she has multiple last names, and various origins of her title. 71.194.44.209 ( talk) 05:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
1) I had combined the two infoboxes because the movie version of the character is not distinct enough from the others to deserve its own infobox. Or, if it is, then the Marvel and Sunbow versions are distinct enough to need to be separate. 2) There doesn't seem to be any reason for the Sigma 6 material to be all in one section instead of spread between the comics, animation and toy sections. You will note that the Movie related toys and videogames are not shoved into the live action movie section. I feel that the version I had made is more relevant to a generalist encyclopedia and that the version Fortdj33 has reverted to is a sloppy mess that is too detailed in some ways for such an encyclopedia while simultaneously not being detailed enough for a specialized GI Joe reference work. -- Khajidha ( talk) 20:55, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
