Sciento-2019-0002	22 December 2019	Accept that the discussions concerning a suggested modification are to be published once a communal verdict is available.

Sciento-2019-0003	22 December 2019	Accept that the commentators of suggested modifications are allowed to suggest reformulations of the original formulations.

Sciento-2019-0006	22 December 2019	Accept that the encyclopedia editors are to be granted official housekeeping rights to handle the ripple effects. Also accept that if the additional required changes are implicit in the suggested modification, the editors should create and alter encyclopedia pages to ensure that the accepted body of scientonomic knowledge is properly documented; if it is conceivable to accept the modification without accepting the ripple effect change in question, the editors should register these changes as new suggested modifications so that the community can discuss and evaluate them in an orderly fashion.	Accepted	25 February 2023
Sciento-2019-0007	22 December 2019	Accept that the verdict on suggested modifications is to be decided by a communal vote that will follow the discussion period.

Sciento-2019-0017	26 December 2019	Accept the definitions of authority delegation, and its subtypes, that generalize the currently accepted definitions to apply to all epistemic agents, rather than only communities.	Accepted	6 February 2023
Sciento-2021-0001	1 August 2021	Accept the definitions of logical presupposition and epistemic presupposition.	Accepted	6 February 2023
Sciento-2021-0003	1 August 2021	Accept the definition of error, stating that an epistemic agent is said to commit an error if the agent accepts a theory that should not have been accepted given that agent’s employed method.	Accepted	8 October 2021
