Why did it make this edit? Or this? --ST47Talk 21:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

1. is a removal of a Slovak interwiki link from Category:Malagasy politicians which gave a conflict. I don't understand Slovak, but it linked back to Category:Hungarian politicians and similar categories in other Wikipedias, and it contained only articles which clearly was about Hungarian politicians.
   (The bot looked at that category because nnwiki did not backlink to svwiki which was corrected here.)
2. is a removal of a Chinese interwiki link from Category:Norwegian musicians which gave a conflict. I don't understand Chinese, but it linked back to Category:Norwegian composers and contained only one article which linked to Edvard Grieg which is a Norwegian composer. Besides I checked its two supercategories - one of them links to Category:Composers and the other to Category:Norwegian musicians so I felt pretty sure that the category was for Norwegian composers.
   (The bot looked at that category because nnwiki did not backlink to dawiki, svwiki and nowiki which was corrected here.)
