-3. Giving models custom methods and custom module-level functions
+3. Giving models custom methods and custom managers
 
 Any method you add to a model will be available to instances.
-
-Custom methods have the same namespace as if the model class were defined
-in the dynamically-generated module. That is, methods can access
-``get_list()``, ``get_object()``, ``AddManipulator``, and all other
-module-level objects.
-
-Also, custom methods have access to a few commonly-used objects for
-convenience:
-
-    * The ``datetime`` module from Python's standard library.
-    * The ``db`` object from ``django.core.db``. This represents the database
-      connection, so you can do custom queries via a cursor object.
-
-If your model method starts with "_module_", it'll be a module-level function
-instead of a method. Otherwise, custom module-level functions have the same
-namespace as custom methods.
