Addition of Zhao state

I thought it was a good idea to change the article name because I added information on the Zhao wall, which like the Qi wall was built before the unification of China. I also added general info on other walls during this period in time to the article. I think the subject matter and time period go together well.

Other walls of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are adequately summarized at History_of_the_Great_Wall_of_China#Pre-imperial_China_(7th_century–221_BC). There is no real need to make a content fork± of that section combining all the walls of the different states. The walls are built by different states for different circumstances at different times, with the only similarity being them being built in the "pre-imperial" era, which is ultimately an arbitrary period covering thousands of years of Chinese history before the Qin dynasty. _dk (talk) 21:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that it is arbitrary is hard to understand. Doesn't the main history article organize the same pre-imperial time period as a section? Villagethings (talk) 06:49, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What works as a section of a larger article may not necessarily work as its own article. _dk (talk) 09:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's a general observation and doesn't apply any analysis to this situation. Unfortunately, I think what you are saying is that you like the article a certain way and you don't want others changing what you like. That's not reasonable in any collaborative effort especially given I spent over an hour making the edit you reverted. Villagethings (talk) 04:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
