   Format: MarkdownItexI notice that the entry [[essential image]] is in a bad state: it starts out making two statements, the first of which is then doubted by Mike in a query box, the second doubted by Zoran in a query box. If there is really no agreement on what should go there, we should maybe better clear the entry, and discuss the matter here until we have a minimum of consensus. But I guess the problems can easily be dealt with and somebody should try to polish this entry right away.

   Format: MarkdownItexAs far as my complaint, Toby answered to it, my memory is that I was happy with his remark at the time. So, if he puts it his way with the subtlety discussed I am happy with move of the second box to here after that (with backlink). As far as Mike's comment, I was at the time pretty sure that the definition worked very well in the world of strict n-categories at least and did not quite understand the pseudomonicity complaint. That part is not resolved as far as I am concerned.

   Format: MarkdownItexYou are right, I think; pseudomonicity is only required if you want the essential image to be *equivalent* to the strict image. I've updated [[replete subcategory]] and [[essential image]] along these lines. I'm curious, though, whether there is any use for non-full essential images as defined on that page?
