Scope of Article

What is the intention of this article? To me it seems like an introduction to the use of models in Level Design with some scraps of vague or inaccurate technical facticles of dubious usefulness. Wouldn't Technical information about the structure of a model would be better placed in a dedicated article such as Anatomy of a Model or MDL? --Beeswax 10:56, 6 Apr 2008 (PDT)

This is a generic definition page, which ideally tells the reader what the subject is, gives a brief overview of its uses, and finally leads to other pages with more specific information.
Incidentally, it made no mention of Hammer until you added that stuff in the other day. Before then it was purely a definition. --TomEdwards 10:59, 6 Apr 2008 (PDT)
Technical information should indeed go in MDL, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for a high-level description of what separates a model from, say, a brush here. --TomEdwards 11:02, 6 Apr 2008 (PDT)
