Description

Article Focus and Conversion is a WikiProject that will do two things.

Focus Articles
Converse Articles

Focussing Articles

Focussing Articles is about as simple as it sounds. To Focus an Article is to find articles with very broad subjects and Narrow them down to the key subject.

Conversion

If you happen to find an article that has a broad subject and you can narrow the subject, conversion is the next step. Conversion, (hence the name) is to convert the article from the broad form to the narrower topic by editing the article so it better fits what the main/most focussed subject is.

Please Post Article You Think Need to Be Focussed, and Questions, Here.

That sounds horrible. We have many broad topic articles, which should not be narrowed in focus. The broad subject of an article is an acceptable article scope. If someone wants to make a narrower focused article, they should just create a new one, or ask for community opinion via a WP:requested move, as a narrower focus would necessarily require a new name. -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 11:54, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
