Double signing edit

This section with the text:

It is common for contributors to "double sign" release forms. This is a standard, necessary and highly recommended procedure.

Had been annotated by an IP user with:

NPOV: In the history of this page, the comment about "double sign" appears to have been added by an angry individual referring to a specific incident he experienced, and has since been edited down to something that looks more neutral but really is meaningless since the term "double sign" is not defined here or in any legal dictionary, and since "common" is inconsistent with "necessary".

Given that, I've moved it here. If someone can find a source for "Double signing" we can add it back in. A brief google search didn't bring up anything for me that wasn't attributable back to Wikipedia. -- Siobhan Hansa 16:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Run-on sentence (also: "release" vs. "releasee" ) edit

The third sentence of [the lede of] this article -- at least, in this version of the article -- is about 112 words long (including two parenthetical phrases). I might be off by a little bit, but even if I counted wrongly, I am pretty sure that it [the number of words] is somewhere up there in the "triple digits".

Possible breakup? edit

That sentence might be a good candidate for being broken up into two or more sentences.

"release" probably should be "releasee" -- right? edit

Part of that Herculean sentence says:

[...] the release wishes to use the images, sounds or [...]

IMHO, the word "release" there, probably should be "releasee". (right?)

Note that the word "releasee" is used correctly in the first sentence [in the lede] of this article. (along with the word "releasor"!)

Merge? edit

A merge was proposed years ago, but I see no discussion. Seems like a good idea; After a merge, model release should redirect to a section of this page legal release#Model release.--Elvey(tc) 06:15, 13 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
