I used to contribute as User:140.32.75.116 and User:70.160.188.138 before I chose the handle "Rlevse". Sometimes I still do that when I forget to log in-;).
I started out on Wikipedia mainly doing copyedit, cleanup, and wikifying articles--which I did dozens of times. Sometimes I write them from scratch (see articles below). My main interests are history, Scouting, Boy Scouts of America, the military, and movies. My wife is from Thailand, so I have worked on many articles regarding that country and culture. I am retired from the U.S. Navy and now work as a computer systems engineer.
Now that I am the coordinator of the {{ScoutingWikiProject}} and Portal, I spend most of my time on that.
I think there are way too many articles on video games, game characters, etc on Wikipedia. I think Wiki is a great research tool, as long as the authors know what they're talking about.
