Hello, I have had a brief look at the page, and have started a review, forgive me for this is my first one. I have made some notes, feel free to discuss if need be:

1. The opening doesn't quite define the topic, and I think needs to be worked so as to explain it is a 'feeling' that humans have. I think it is written in a way that presupposes a few assumptions, and while on topic, is to in 'in topic' for wikipedians.

2. Without a proper definition in the lead, it's hard to figure out if the page is being broad in it's topic, but assuming it is about human ownership, you'd think the article might have a section about the evolution of it? A history of when homo sapiens (and or their predecessors) may have understood 'ownership'

3. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of theory and debate about the topic from those in the field, and to me doesn't seem neutral. Is this ownership as defined by what school of thought? Do others disagree? etc..

4. A illustration or two would be nice. Perhaps a chart of the possessive forms in English 'My, Your, His, Hers, Theirs' or a cartoon of a selfish child declaring 'Mine!'?

That's all for now. BlackfullaLinguist (talk) 12:52, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
