 Happy

2023!



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 which have both been deleted.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Biography
Who needs a stinkin' biography?!

What I mainly do on Wikipedia
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.

What I mainly do on Wikimedia Commons
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).

I am somehow of a copyright violation detective too.

What I mainly do on Wikivoyage
I've only edited on Wikivoyage once. My main goal is to improve the guides for places near me.

The only things I dislike about Wikipedia
Me getting those two articles declined and dealing with Wikipedia's policies w/ reliable citations.

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.

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.

Utilization of my images in Facebook


My works are not in the public domain unless it's licensed in the public domain.

I know a laundry list of photographers on Wikimedia Commons who hate their works being uploaded to Facebook.

You are permitted to use my images anywhere provided that you follow the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (aka... CC BY 4.0). You are obligated to credit me regardless of utilization.

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.

Works
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)). My goal is to upload more free pics to help improve Wikipedia articles. I generally like to photograph

etc.
 * Elevators and Escalators
 * Establishing shots and interior shots of places
 * Shopping malls
 * Stuff that Wikipedia is missing

For a better gallery, see my Wikimedia Commons userpage

Typeface examples
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.

Please feel free to improve these images and create a png/svg version of them.

See Wikimedia Commons: Bad JPEG to see why that template has appeared on all of those images

Vectorized editions
Thank you to the kind users who have helped vectorize my font samples

Symbols
I'll be making some symbols for Wikipedia/Wikimedia soon. I am currently in the progress of making a not public domain symbol.

Pun Machine
Here are some dumb puns

Worst Films
They deserve some of these
