   Format: MarkdownItexIn this paper, Mitchell says that representable presheaves are tiny when the base category C has finite products, but the nlab page says that this is true with no assumptions about the base category. I don't see any dependence on finite products in the construction, am I missing something? Maybe he is just confusing this with the fact that powering by a representable has a simpler formulation when the base category has cartesian products.

   Format: MarkdownItexLet's see. I suppose this is because Mitchell requires the *internal* hom out of a tiny object to preserve colimits (p. 1). A sufficient condition for reducing this requirement, in the case of representable presheaves, to the argument given on the nLab page for the *external* hom is that the site has finite products.

   At the start of this article, should

   An object e of E is called tiny, small-projective object

   be

   An object e of E is called a tiny, or small-projective object

   ? If so, could someone please change it?
