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 template. Sro23 (talk) 22:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

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)
