General
G.I. Joe (plain text, without italics) should be used when describing the fictional universe, franchise, or related phenomena:
 * e.g. The G.I. Joe franchise is one of the most lucrative in television history.

G.I. Joe (italics) should be used when referring to specific series, genres, episodes, and movies:
 * e.g. The series G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero debuted in 1982.

Semi-canon
There is a body of officially licensed reference work produced by people who have directly worked on the various G.I. Joe shows and comics. These are generally regarded as “true” except where they contradict new episodes. Such works are considered a grey area: the creative teams behind the various G.I. Joe television series, films and comics are under no obligation to adhere to any conjecture or extrapolation offered in these works. (See individual entries for exceptions.)

Where information from these works is utilized in Wikipedia, a reference should always be noted, possibly in a "bibliography" section at the end of a lengthy article.
