Someone added a COI note to this article, but I don't know why. It states "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject", a subject that I taught for 20 years at a research university.
In terms of personal disclosure, I clearly stated my name to the article to disclose my authorship and when I wrote RE/flex as a professor in my spare time. I released RE/flex as a free tool to use for constructing compilers and tokenizers. People and students suggested to put it on Wikipedia 7 years ago.
Over the past 7 years other people materially contributed to this open source project, including 22 open source contributors on GitHub. When something substantially changed in the project or was added to it, then I made a minor update to this article to align with the changes. Every such update justifies a version update. That is what the info box in the article is for.
Secondly, in terms of "employer disclosure", there is none, because this is not developed under an employer. I wrote it when I was a professor at FSU in my spare time. FSU does not own this project or copyright. I released this project as open source, to help students and others.
Thirdly, I don't get paid or compensated to post this article or to maintain it, nor do I get compensated to work on RE/flex. That is ridiculous to suggest.
With respect to neutrality, the article includes links and a list of references to related articles on Wikipedia, including a list of competing tools.
The Wikipdia article is 7+ years old with a few minor updates besides version bumps (as everyone else updates the software version).
The topic needs reliable third-party sources which discuss this program. The existing non-primary sources serve only to provide background information, and do not support notability. By the way, comments from blogs, user testimonials and existence in package systems also do not support notability. I found none that are useful TEDickey ( talk) 09:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
