Unprotect

The vandal who harassed this article had all of his sleepers and account blocked recently from the SPI. You said semi doesn't work, but semi + having this article on multiple watchlists would do a lot to deter the vandal from coming back and it would allow non extended confirmed users to add updates to the article since most edits to BLPs come from non extended confirmed users.

That was tried in the past but was proven ineffective. I guess the vandal has a lot of proxies on hand. If you would like to make changes to this article, PottoMeesta, you can propose them on this talk page using {{edit extended-protected}} template. Sro23 (talk) 22:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and indeed large enough. QPQ present. Recent death status confirmed. Image is freely licensed. Both hook facts are interesting and check out. DYKcheck doesn't flag as 5x but it indeed is 5x from the most recent revision prior to his death. I've thrown one more reference into the page—a 1992 article that goes more in depth into the reasons for his firing. (His PD wanted him to appear on a radio show and then fly to Baltimore to cover a Dolphins game the next day, and then he asked him to blow out his show for hurricane coverage, which he refused. Remember that this was weeks after Andrew.) If you'd like more, South Florida is one of the best markets for paper coverage I have. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photons and Perspective

The article says (in Faster-than-light observations and experiments): If a laser beam is swept quickly across a distant object, the spot of light can move faster than c. Should you say "from the perspective of the observer"?

Another way of looking at it is that each photon cannot move faster than the speed of light. Pretend you have a laser that will sweep across the moon's surface (about one-half an angular degree from Earth) in, let's say, one microsecond (or 1000 nanoseconds). But the "spot" (as observed from Earth) is an illusion.

What we see from Earth may appear to move much faster on the moon than one foot per ns (taking the moon's diameter to be 3500 km diameter). But we're observing the spot from Earth. On the moon, each individual photon (which travels to the moon in about 1.4 seconds and 1.4 seconds back) is independent from all the others. If you had a laser that could emit just 1000 photons in the microsecond that it takes to complete our sweep then, from the moon, you would observe one photon hitting the surface about every 3.5 km (3500 km diameter / 1000 ns).

WHOOPS. Wrong article. Ignore this. Sorry. -RoyGoldsmith (talk) 21:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
