I do have an Earth -14 episode planned, but he isn't there at the time.
Which episode was that?
Personal amusement.

You go away for two months and it seems like everyone just forgets how competent you are.
Well, you killed one of her old comrades and saved another one from a languishing death, hopefully that puts you back at an even keel.

So, the bigger problem is all the people who are adding redlinks to the pages and no one is adding actual content. (Character Pages and Episode Pages in particular)
The intent (and I don't remember who deleted the A,B,C Premonitions content, but that was intended to only be deleted once it was on the character pages in question.
It was, during the incident there was significant leeway given.

Ack. My heart.
What a lovely reunion. Pity we won't get to see it.
Anyway.
Missing that extra period to count as an ellipsis.
Missing an 'e' here.

I forgot to address this:
1)Most of his friends are superheroes.
Not all of them have given up their secret IDs, and they all have families.
Without any attempts at obscuring your ID, attempting to socialize with them in public risks outing them any time you pay them a visit.
OL didn't have this problem because none of the people he socialized with were in the public's eye, so to speak.
The one time he had to show up for Batman's wedding, I recall it being an issue.
2)Only those villains connected to the Light might know his ID. That's a significant number, but not all of them.
New supervillains pop up all the time.
And doesn't even count mundane crazies. Remember Dana Dearden and the paparazzi who both tried to break into OL's hotel room?
OL has a galtech database.
If he can't fit something like a hologram into a tiny mask that alters the lines of Alan's face a little, I'd be surprised.
Or hell, now that the Blue ring has an AI, it can do it automatically.
No need to go full paranoid. Just an asshole filter.
I have no idea how Guy Gardner and John Stewart aren't completely outed, myself.

I refer you to the FAQ.
Thank you, corrected.
Hie closest friends are Jay, Diana and the SI. None of them have secret identities.
While true, given the minimal nature of Alan's disguise it's quite likely that the only reason why no one's breached his secret identity before is that no one's tried.
They are.

Ah, I see. I never read the FAQ, assuming that it only clarified lore questions. My apologies.

Does no one even read the Meta:Suggestions page? I had suggestions there related to all of this. (that I just updated.)
We should probably prioritize the character pages first. Then once we have the basics on that page we move on to equipment, right now it is starting to feel like we are biting off more than we can chew with how many red-links and stub-pages I am seeing.
(Reminder, the link-format template is on episode 1 along with a in-complete page.

You know, I do have to point out that this chapter kind of underlines how scary Paul is, in microcosm.
I mean, this isn't really getting into all the stuff he's done in just two months in space, but he's been back barely an hour and he's already saved the life of a storied and experienced hero, then brushes it off like it's basically nothing when it's clearly been a gnawing concern for at least Wonder Woman and the Amazons who knew him.
This is on the tail end of essentially dismantling an interstellar slave empire, saving another storied and experienced hero from captivity and torture, freeing countless sentients, neutralizing an ancient enemy which the entire Green Lantern Corps was wary of provoking, establishing his own Lantern Corps, and negotiating peace treaties between space-faring guilds.
That is a terrifying level of competency, quite honestly. He's just successfully accomplished more in two months than most beings ever will in their entire lives.
Batman's probably the only person who truly understands how lucky they are that Paul's the kind of hero he is. If he wasn't... I kind of wonder what Bruce's contingency plan for an Evil!Paul would be... beyond, you know... praying to gods that won't help for fear that Paul will start figuring out ways to kill them too.
...also, I wonder where Captain Comet got to, now that I think about it. Hopefully Alan will be happy to know he's alright.

As far as i am aware, they already exist and are headed by some scarily hopeful sod. You know, the guy who rejuvenated a sun.

From what I understand that hasn't actually happened yet.
OL has this semi-large web of lies that he's maintaining, including the fact that he's actually over thirty and not in his teens.

Yeah, Saint Walker hasn't done his thing in this story. OL flubbed up telling the others about him.
Firebrand/Red Inferno lives, and has a sorta secret identity. Jay is linked to the other Flashes, who have secret IDs.
Dunno if Wildcat/Ted Grant is still alive, or even existed in this continuity.
And of course, there is always meeting new people.
But don't let that stop you; at worst, we see Consequences.
Like I said, I would not be surprised that those little masks contained more tech than meets the eye.
And it's not like Alan wasn't on a team with at least one wizard; if Kent Nelson couldn't cook up something to fit on his mask, I'd be surprised.
The Light managed to figure out a cheap way to jam scrying worldwide with less mystical oomph.
Really?
OL kept avoiding using their names when talking to people; he'd start with a letter, and then switch to Green Lantern 2814-A or B or whatever.

As far as people in "tiny masks" not being outed, I recall what happened in the body switch episode with Lex Luthor in Flash's body trying to learn his secret identity by unmasking him. "I have no idea who this is."
For a lot of superheroes, their civilian persona may well be obscure enough and possibly far away enough from where they do their heroics that the people who'd intend them harm never have a real opportunity to make the connection. And in a culture where secret identities are taken seriously, the people who know their civilian identities well enough to suspect who they are if they catch their superhero identity on the news will probably keep quiet.
Alan Scott early on in the story even wondered if he actually fooled anyone who was living near him back when he was active.

Not just saved - heroes save each other's lives every day. Saved from something no other hero or resource (outside perhaps a Lazarus Pit) could address in the long term. Rejuvenated into fighting-fit form. And granted additional decades, if not centuries, of life to. And that's not counting improving his powers (adding the AI) and doing it in such a way so that he didn't become bound by the rules of the Guardians.
Alan might not have a lot of direct personal friends in the JL apart from Wonder Woman, but I'd bet the Greenies, at least, count it as a win (even if it means Alan's not one of theirs any more, even unofficially). If he joins up, which seems quite possible, that will give the JL access to two colors of power ring directly, and three indirectly - they do have Paul's phone number. (And access to the blue ring's ability to boost three of their existing members.)
The question, I guess, is if all this - plus Paul freeing Zatara - will mitigate the animosity from him killing Nabu. There may always be the sneaking worry that if Orange Lantern doesn't like someone on the League, there may be very little able to prevent him from deciding to kill that person and being fully capable of following through. What's worse is that he doesn't even announce his intentions beforehand like a supervillain!

Four now that they have that Russian chick as a Green Lantern since two of the 2814 group got kicked up to honor guard.
Yes, though, those are good points which make what Paul's done even more important.
