Talk:Gavin Free

Is an updated image available?
The image pictured is clearly outdated, barely resembling his current appearance whatsoever. Does anyone have a more updated image that could be uploaded under Wikipedia's guidelines? Irockz (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)


 * It might be beneficial to contact him on the roosterteeth website since users can upload pictures of themselves. He'd have several pictures on there that would fall under the guidelines. Woodcutter631 (talk) 01:32, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you don't need a person to update their own wiki's picture, just update the picture.I'm pretty sure celebrities don't update their own wiki picture that's ludicrous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.49.166.178 (talk) 05:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Citations not needed
There's a couple of Template:Fact tags sitting on the article which aren't really necessary. The first is just a lead-in and the second is a well-documented fact, mentioned in various podcasts, videos, twitter feeds and the like. I'd remove them, but it's all semi-protected-like.

Even if their removal was challenged, they at least need to be moved after the punctuation.

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done:. I've moved the tags after the punctuation marks. I'll be happy to replace them with citations to reliable sources. Rivertorch (talk) 20:04, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. For sources, I'd say the listings of "slow motion cinematographer" on his IMDB page would credit the first missing citation. For his working at Rooster Teeth, one of their podcasts begins by welcoming him back to the office. He's also on their staff list. I hope this suffices; thanks! 82.32.140.199 (talk) 15:58, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: Added in the Achievement Hunter reference. Leaving it to someone else to decide on the slow motion cinematographer. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 04:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The slow motion credits are on his linked IMDB entry, he's explicitly listed as "slow motion cinematographer" and "phantom download technician". Hikari (talk) 10:07, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

He turned 25 today. It says he is 24.

 * Not sure what you're asking here; the infobox already says he's 25. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 21:21, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Enter Shikari video: Johnny Sniper
Shouldn't this be added to his filmography? https://twitter.com/GavinFree/status/236093889126211586 SilentDan297 18:03, 10 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SilentDan297 (talk • contribs)

The article lists Gavin as the director for Season 6 of Red Vs. Blue (Reconstruction). This is incorrect, as according to Reconstruction's credits, Burnie and Matt handled direction for Season 6; all Gavin did that season was provide Jones' voice. It's actually Season 7 (Recreation) that Gavin directed, alongside the already mentioned Relocated miniseries. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 19:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the PR intern at Rooster Teeth. The second paragraph of this article states that Gavin is "also known as the co-creator and co-host of the YouTube-based web series The Slow Mo Guys". Gavin is the creator of The Slow Mo Guys, not co-creator. Him being a co-host is correct.

Can someone please change that sentence to "Free is also known as the creator and co-host of the YouTube-based web series "The Slow Mo Guys".

Thanks in advance! Faith V (talk) 18:16, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Specifically, we need reliable, published, third-party sources. This statement in the lead is based on the body text statement: In 2010, he created The Slow Mo Guys along with friend Daniel Gruchy in order to get a work visa. This is sourced to a Buzzfeed article that quotes these men directly. To make the requested change, we need independent confirmation that the article cited is incorrect. I realize this does not help  you carry out the task you've been asked to do but it appears this requested change contradicts what they told Buzzfeed.  Also, as the intern for a connected entity, you are considered to be under both the conflict of interest and paid editor policies.   I hope this helps.

There is one section that need to be changed is the part where it says "He is best known for Rooster Teeth to "He was best known" instead because now Rooster Teeth has completely shut down.
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Present tense is correct here unless he has become better known for something else. Just because the company shut down doesn't mean he is no longer known for it. Jamedeus (talk) 05:41, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
