User:Esop wrote a whole article in the making in his user page about "FSC Governance System" on 2011-04-08 from 06:01 TO 10:54 AM. At 11:32 am on the same day an new account User:Turk1988 was created and at 11:50am wrote the same text about the same Governance System in his user page. Coincidence?

I am a student at Manchester University studying Environmental Governance and we have recently been given an assignment to contribute to a wikipedia page. I suspect that the second account in question is one of my course mates. In any event, the content is not particularly similar and any overlap is relevant to each page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esop (talk • contribs) 20:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * - Possible, but perhaps unlikely. CU to clarify. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:47, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * . Although they're writing about the same thing, given that their actual content and wording is quite different, it seems much more likely to me that he's telling the truth about his assignment than that they're sockpuppets of each other. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 09:48, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I'll close with no action taken, then. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:00, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
