 How do I create a database and a collection?
 --------------------------------------------
 
-.. note:: 
-
-   You can enter the commands referenced in this FAQ by using 
-   the :binary:`MongoDB Shell <~bin.mongo>`. The MongoDB Shell is an 
-   interactive JavaScript interface to MongoDB. You can use the MongoDB 
-   Shell to query and update data as well as perform administrative 
-   operations.
-
 If a database does not exist, MongoDB creates the database when you
 first store data for that database.
 
 If a collection does not exist, MongoDB creates the collection when you
-first store data for that collection.
+first store data for that collection. [#explicit-creation]_
 
 As such, you can switch to a non-existent database (``use <dbname>``)
 and perform the following operation:
 
 .. code-block:: javascript
 
-   use myNewDB;
-
-   db.myNewCollection1.insertOne( { x: 1 } );
-   db.myNewCollection2.createIndex( { a: 1 } );
+   use myNewDB
 
-- The :method:`db.collection.insertOne()` method creates 
-  the collection ``myNewCollection1`` if it does not already exist.
+   db.myNewCollection1.insertOne( { x: 1 } )
+   db.myNewCollection2.createIndex( { a: 1 } )
 
-- The :method:`db.collection.createIndex()` method creates the index and 
-  the collection ``myNewCollection2`` if it does not already exist. 
+The ``insert`` operation creates both the database ``myNewDB`` and the
+collection ``myNewCollection1`` if they do not already exist.
 
-- If the ``myNewDb`` database did not exist, either the
-  :method:`db.collection.createIndex()` method or 
-  :method:`db.collection.insertOne()` method would have created
-  the ``myNewDb`` database automatically.
-
-You can also create a collection explicitly using
-:method:`db.createCollection` method if you want to specify specific
-:ref:`options<create_collection_parameters>`, such as maximum size
-or document validation rules:
-
-.. code-block:: javascript
+The ``createIndex`` operation, which occurs after the ``myNewDB`` has
+been created, creates the index and the collection ``myNewCollection2``
+if the collection does not exist. If ``myNewDb`` did not exist, the
+``createIndex`` operation would have also created the ``myNewDB``.
 
-   use myNewDB;
+.. [#explicit-creation]
 
-   db.createCollection("myNewCollection1");
+   You can also create a collection explicitly using
+   :method:`db.createCollection` if you want to specify specific
+   options, such as maximum size or document validation rules.
