In order to 1) explain the use of the word "scuffle" and 2) explain how blackmail came from this, please add quote from stated source. Change...
From: In 1999, Crowe was involved in a scuffle at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, which was caught on a security camera.[91] Two men were acquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail him.[92]
To: In 1999, Crowe was involved in a scuffle at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, which was caught on a security camera."About 3am, as the video shows, the then 35-year-old actor was involved in a melee, arguing heatedly with a woman and kissing a man who tries to calm him down." [91] Two men were acquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail him.[92] Papermagepk (talk) 02:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Not done: Adding that sentence from the source word-to-word would be a copyright infringement. Deauthorized. (talk) 20:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Partly done: I agree that it is not clear why he was blackmailed over the event, so I have added further clarification. It is sufficiently different to the original text so I hope this addresses both concerns. If neither party is satisfied feel free to revert without prejudice and we will negotiate alternative wording here. Betty Logan (talk) 01:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- As the text is now (on the published page), it again makes no sense, i.e. it's completely unclear how and why he would be blackmailed.
- You could just combine the two versions;
- In 1999, Crowe was involved in a heated argument at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, during which he also kissed a man who was trying to calm him down. Two men/employees were aquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail Crowe. JoostvG (talk) 12:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

In the Personal Life - Altercations section: third paragraph, about the BAFTAS. So why was Crowe's segment cut? For time reasons or for copyright reasons? JoostvG (talk) 12:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 13:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
