Let me try this: A square is an object with 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angles, a rectangle is an object with 4 sides of different lengthes and has 4 right angles, and a quadrilateral is an object that has 4 sides.
So, a square is a specific type of rectangle, and a rectangle is a specific type of quadrilateral. This is called organization.
Now for my final point:
It's called Four Square, not Four Quadrilateral

I like where you went with the shapes. Very condescending. Let me build on that thought.
Pretend that you have a forum called Quadrilaterals Anonymous. You have 4 Sections: General Quadrilateral Talk, Rectangle Talk, Square Talk, and Other.
Some one post in the General Quadrilateral Talk section about a Square. Does it not qualify to be there? If not, why? that is the General talk area. Just because it apply elsewhere too does that not make it welcome in both categories?
Counter to that. If someone posted about a Triangle in the General Quadrilateral section, undoubtedly it should be removed.
