Note: more userboxes on my about page

I used to contribute as User:140.32.xx.xxx and User:70.160.xxx.xxx 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. 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.

One of the founders of Scouting WikiProject, created Scouting Portal (the 8th Featured Portal on WP), Good Articles reviewer, V0.5 and V1.0 projects, and Recent Changes Patroller. See About me.

According to this page, I am the 195th highest contributor to Wikipedia.
