A Japanese Wikipedian 俊武 (Toshitake) contributed an article on a landmark of his hometown, 大瀬崎灯台 (Osezaki Lighthouse) on Japanese Wikipedia. He found a nice photo on the WWW and uploaded it with a permission by its copyright holder. But he forgot to add licence information. It was out of his awareness. Later another Wikipedian pointed it out, and made that contributor aware for the copyright and licensing seriously. He mailed again the copyright holder to explain GFDL and ask him to release the image under GFDL. The photograper allowed him willingly. In the permission the photographer complainted many people lacked of conciousness of copyright: he felt they neglected the value of his works and his all efforts. The contributor understood his opinion and kept his experience in mind. Author : 俊武 Night time of Central District, viewed from Tsim Sha Tsui towards Hong Kong Island. The water at the bottom of the picture is Victoria Harbour. The conspicuosly lit building in the picture is the 90-storeyed office building, the International Finance Centre II, which also houses the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. It is the tallest building in Hong Kong at the present. Behind the IFC II is Tai Ping Shan, also called Mount Austin. One of Hong Kong's most popular tourist activity is to view the island's nightscape from Victoria Peak on Tai Ping Shan, or across the harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui. Author : 周承翰
