Comment:

 The problem with "Make this post sticky" is it doesn't describe what
 "sticky" means. I understand the brevity in Quick Edit, but it should
 probably be descriptive when editing a post. Otherwise it lacks any
 meaning for the user.

 "Stick this post to the front page" seems OK to me as-is. It is a good
 balance of descriptiveness and clarity. "Stick this post to the top of the
 front page" feels less accurate as you can have multiple sticky posts (it
 also causes awkward text wrapping in English). Also, sticky posts *are*
 always on the front page, so that part isn't inaccurate either. Even if
 posts_per_page is 10, if you have 11 sticky posts, they'll all display.
