[edit] Merger

See Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages

Pre-merger pages:

Done merging all of the above. The Dom/sub stuff needs significant editing for flow / integration. Also see todo list below. If ya want it fixed, fix it yourself - this is Wikipedia after all. Anyway, that's about it for me for now at least; got other stuff to do. --Sai Emrys ¿? ✍ 19:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TODO

Cleanup & meta
- Fix double redirects
- Clean multiple redirects to previous source pages on other pages
- Clean up & merge translated versions; link properly to (currently split) translations
- Add link to Top and bottom in sex and BDSM to relevant pages, categories, etc
- Edit redirects to point to specific sections if relevant (e.g. Bottom (BDSM) -> Top and bottom in sex and BDSM#Bottom_2)
- Find any other articles that should be merged into this one
Writing
- Expand the overlap section
- Expand the contrasts section
- Expand top and bottom in sex to include discussion of physical-sensation preferences vs psychological / role preferences (e.g. for gay or bisexual men who want to [psychologically] bottom but don't enjoy the sensation of prostate stimulation etc)
- Expand to discuss relationship w/ "gender roles" in homosexual relationships
- Expand to address possible legal or social sexual identity differences of top vs bottom, e.g. only bottom being perceived as "gay", topping being more acceptable for "straight" men, top being acceptable for ancient Greek males in pederastic relationships, etc
- Expand to discuss top/bottom as a sexual identity or facet thereof
- Add better compare-and-contrast of Top/bottom vs Dom/sub in BDSM
Editing
- Make gender neutral where appropriate
- Make sexuality neutral or inclusive where appropriate, e.g. gay men -> gay or bisexual (or pegging-friendly straight)
- Clean up this article for redundancies
- Distribute content / link better with articles on Domination and submission (BDSM) and BDSM.
- Make picture & sidebar layout prettier; it's kinda ugly right now
