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The image pictured is clearly outdated, barely resembling his current appearance whatsoever.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) reply

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) reply

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) reply

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.

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) reply
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) reply

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) reply

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) reply

 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.
