Overriding the clean() method
-----------------------------
You can override the ``clean()`` method on a model form to provide additional
validation in the same way you can on a normal form. However, by default the
``clean()`` method validates the uniqueness of fields that are marked as
``unique``, ``unique_together`` or ``unique_for_date|month|year`` on the model.
Therefore, if you would like to override the ``clean()`` method and maintain the
default validation, you must call the parent class's ``clean()`` method.

method.
