THIS IS THE OFFICIAL USERPAGE FOR... Baron Maddock (aka... BM de King)
An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor won't actually make any effort to fix it, but rest assured that they have done their encyclopedic duty by sticking a tag on it. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about.
Just typeset BM de King in Tilda (the custom font used in Moonrise Kingdom) or for you cheapskates, typeset it in Yellowtail

My name is Baron Maddock (BM de King). I am a Wikipedian who edits stuff at certain points and adds media to things. Unfortunately, I've gotten 2 declined articles[1] which have both been deleted.[a]
I like to inspect random pages and tag them using the Twinkle gadget, place articles on my watchlist containing one of the most common places I visit (e.g. Tysons Corner Center), add some of my pics to Wikimedia Commons, create typeface specimens and other examples of things using Google Draw, et cetera.
Mainly I just upload my works since I am somehow of a photographer, but I'm trying to do a better job with the photo taking so I can utilize them on Wikipedia. I've used my work for the establishing picture of Seven Springs Mountain Resort (which I went there back in July 2021) and an establishing shot of Westfield Annapolis (which didn't have any pictures and I visited it back in the beginning of October 2021).
You may freely remix, adapt, reproduce, etc. for any purpose, even commercially provided that you credit me. I would suggest using one of the credit lines listed here. The Creative Commons licenses forbid additional terms and conditions being added on that restricts what the license allows.
You do not need to ask my permission to use my works and it is beyond pointless to do so since they are Creative Commons licensed.
I don't care where you put that credit line, just credit me.
If used in print or plain text, please include a URL to my Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Baron_Maddock) or Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Baron_Maddock) userpage and if you do mention in the credit line that it's licensed under the CC BY 4.0, please include a URL to the license (do the human readable edition at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
Do not credit Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia because they don't make or own my images. I will not be happy if I see anyone violate this policy.
If you would like to use my content on Facebook, you are to credit me. Failing to provide proper attribution to the author (me) constitutes as a copyright violation and expect and cease and desist notice coming toward you.
Ordering note: All of the photos are sorted by date. Press the → button to see my pics from oldest to newest and vice versa. The very first pic you see in the gallery (which gets changed here and there) is my featured picture (self curated). Featured pictures are not part of the date order.
Note: These won't get updated all the time, it may take a while to get this chart fixed.
I am somehow of a photographer who takes videos of elevators and photos of random stuff currently using my Google Pixel 5a (formerly my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (February 28, 2018 - November 8, 2020) and my Samsung Galaxy S10+ (November 9, 2020 - December 20, 2021)).[b] My goal is to upload more free pics to help improve Wikipedia articles.
Photo disclaimers: These photos are all my own work. All of these photos are not in the original form and have been touched up and/or cropped from the original using Google Photos. The original form photos are not that great unless I touch them up. Sometimes, I need to crop and tilt them because they get tilted off by 1° or so and it makes the photo quality not that great.
Photo disclaimers: These photos are all my own work. If any of my photos do not have sufficient EXIF Metadata, it means that I manipulated my uploaded image to censor sensitive information.
Licensing disclaimer: These type specimens above are licensed under the CC BY-SA because Wikimedia Commons wouldn't let me choose the CC BY license for those type specimens. Please disregard the ShareAlike term and stick with the CC BY 4.0 which is the license my creative works are under.
I made all of these using Google Draw, but I am not the best person sometimes because I've done .jpeg files when I could've been using .png or .svg for those.[4]
Please feel free to improve these images and create a png/svg version of them.

Kaboom!! Oh, that was just this user finding and obliterating copyright violations on Wikimedia Commons, but don't worry. Except if you're uploading copyvios

^The articles were Montserrat (typeface) and Focal Point Homes. Montserrat was declined because the sources sucked and was written more like an advertisement and Focal Point Homes was declined because it had only a primary source. Montserrat would've started off as a Start class article while Focal Point Homes would've been a stub
