Google: We Know You're Confused About Manual & Algorithmic Penalties
There has always been a lot of confusion amongst none experienced SEOs about the difference between a manual and algorithmic action by Google. And Google is aware of that and promises to make changes to help clarify the difference between the two.
John Mueller, Google's Webmaster Trends Analyst, said in multiple Google Webmaster Help threads in the past twenty-four hours that they are aware and working to make it easier.

Specifically, John said, "We're looking into ways to make this process a bit clearer, more straightforward & consistent, I realize it's a bit confusing at the moment..."
I am not sure what their plans are exactly but it would be so sweet to have not just "manual actions" but "algorithmic actions" section in Google Webmaster Tools.
