This page has a mistake about Joe's season 4 exploits, where Omar steals the Co-Op's drug shipment and sells it back to Joe. If it was sold back to Joe at 20% of the original value, this is a steep discount, the correct value is 120%, and Joe sells it for 130% in order to make a profit. I edited it once, but someone reverted it and it's incorrect. So I'm going to keep editing it until someone looks at the discussion page and can understand that less than 100 percent of value is a discount, and more than 100 percent is a mark-up. 67.181.212.109 ( talk) 18:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to drop in and say that I forgot to sign in on the preceding edits, whoops. LoganRage ( talk) 18:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I am glad to see that the 20 cents on the dollar issue was kind of sorted out, but this phrase in the current article still shows a lack of full understanding: "... effectively negating his out-of-pocket loss." First, since the coop agreed that Joe was not solely responsible for the loss of the shipment, the entire coop had an (effective) out-of pocket loss, and Joe had some undisclosed share of that. Secondly, Joe charged the cooop 30 cents on the dollar, netting a profit on that particular transaction of 10 cents on the dollar, but it was still unclear whether that made up for the original loss (so, at the very least, the sentence in question should be struck). Thirdly, if there is any remaining doubt as to whether the original "20 cents on the dollar" meant 20 percent vs. 120 percent, a re-watch of the episode will hopefully make clear that Omar was willing to take a significant loss on the transaction because he would be unable to unload that much heroin in his lifetime, and 120 percent is not a loss.

Seems to be some disagreement about who tricked Omar into shooting the bow tie from NYC. Was it Prop Joe or Stringer Bell? ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.197.33 ( talk) 20:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
It is stated that Prop Joe, Poot and Wee-Bay are the only 3 members of the drug trade to appear in all 5 seasons. Why is Omar not included? or for that matter, drug Attorney Levy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.21.181 ( talk) 05:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
This is a fictional character biography, not a police report. When was he ever referred to as "Stewart" on the show? It was almost always "Joe" or "Prop Joe" or "Proposition Joe". I'm changing all references to "Stewart" into "Joe". MultipleTom ( talk) 11:41, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
