What are sifted colimits?
Theory and applications of categories, The Bourn Festschrift, Tome 23 (2010), pp. 251-260
Sifted colimits, important for algebraic theories, are "almost" just the combination of filtered colimits and reflexive coequalizers. For example, given a finitely cocomplete category $\cal A$, then a functor with domain $\cal A$ preserves sifted colimits iff it preserves filtered colimits and reflexive coequalizers. But for general categories $\cal A$ that statement is not true: we provide a counter-example.
