User:Drinibot
 | This user account is a bot that uses AutoWikiBrowser, operated by Drini (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. To stop this bot until restarted by the bot's owner, edit its talk page. If that page is a redirect, edit that original redirecting page, not the target of the redirect. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it or remove from the approved accounts. |  |

("Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 9":Early settlers of Canada -> Settlers of Canada)
It means that if you go to the page Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 9 you can see a discussion explaining why the category Early settlers of Canada was moved to Settlers of Canada.
So before you hit my talk asking why was some category modified, check the reason as outlined above. If you still have questions, then you drop me a note at: User talk:Drini
