 LogRecord Objects
 -----------------
 
-:class:`LogRecord` instances are created every time something is logged. They
-contain all the information pertinent to the event being logged. The main
-information passed in is in msg and args, which are combined using msg % args to
-create the message field of the record. The record also includes information
-such as when the record was created, the source line where the logging call was
-made, and any exception information to be logged.
+:class:`LogRecord` instances are created automatically by the :class:`Logger`
+every time something is logged, and can be created manually via
+:func:`makeLogRecord` (for example, from a pickled event received over the
+wire).
 
 
 .. class:: LogRecord(name, lvl, pathname, lineno, msg, args, exc_info, func=None)
 
-   Returns an instance of :class:`LogRecord` initialized with interesting
-   information. The *name* is the logger name; *lvl* is the numeric level;
-   *pathname* is the absolute pathname of the source file in which the logging
-   call was made; *lineno* is the line number in that file where the logging
-   call is found; *msg* is the user-supplied message (a format string); *args*
-   is the tuple which, together with *msg*, makes up the user message; and
-   *exc_info* is the exception tuple obtained by calling :func:`sys.exc_info`
-   (or :const:`None`, if no exception information is available). The *func* is
-   the name of the function from which the logging call was made. If not
-   specified, it defaults to ``None``.
