Hi. Please understand that adding Category:Horse transport is an unneeded double-categorizing as Category:Horse-related road signs is directly contained in Category:Horse transport :). We aim at being as specific as possible in selecting categories, if you take a look at the tree of Category:Horse transport (or any other) you'll notice the relations between the subcats and your selections will be much more refined next time.

Nope. It's not double categorizing. Category:Horse-related road signs means "road signs showing horses on it", which means it can show horses and not concerning horse transport like this one. Therefore, File:Horse-transport-sign.JPG needs Category:Horse transport... or the creation of the sub-cat Category:Horse transport road signs (or Category:Horse transport-related road signs?).

Hi. :) The way things work with the categories has been explained to you, including emphasis on the rationale behind why horse-related road signs are also related to horse-transport. You may call for arbitration if you're unhappy with it, but please don't engage in edit-fights, which only harms our readers (and leads to little point). - The prevalent classification method here is based much on CommonSense, triple-meaning.

I did explain to YOU why the categorizing is not right for that matter. Don't try to tell me you want to teach me how categorizing works (I'm older than you as a Commons user and I've fixed many categorizing and overcategorizing problems). Instead of asking me not to engage in edit-fight you should at least try to think and start with an answer/comment considering the example I mentionned to you. This file is a road sign showing a horse that has nothing to do with horse transport, and there are other examples such as File:Attention chevaux 1.jpg, File:CH-Gefahrensignal-Tiere (2).svg, File:Trnová, pozor přechod pro koně.jpg or File:Singapore Road Signs - Warning Sign - Animals.svg (those road signs warn that you can meet animals - and mainly horses - ahead and that yo have to be careful, but they don't say if these horses are used as a transport mean - it can also be, for instance, horses bred for meat). Therefore Category:Horse-related road signs also concerns signs that are not dealing with horse transport, so it cannot be a subcat of Category:Horse transport. QED. So now please try to build a more logical category tree (as I suggested above) instead of reverting me. Thanks in advance. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 12:35, 24 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
