Jediknight12345 is a Current Events user who is best known for burning down the Mission Hill Baptist Church in Palmyra, Missouri. He received attention from the news following the incident, which became to be known on CE as ArCEn.

ArCEn
On February 8, 2008, Jediknight, a student in Palmyra, Missouri, created a topic on CE asking the users if he should burn down a local church. Believing it to be a joke, CE encouraged him to do it.

Later that evening, Jediknight returned to CE, claiming that he had indeed burned down the church. CE of course demanded proof of his actions, and Jediknight provided it in the form of several pictures, including one of "FOR CE" written on a desk and pictures of several small fires made up of computer equipment and Bibles. The next day, he posted a link to a news article from WGEM News, which reported a church fire in the same area in which he lived. The fire in the news report was started just hours after Jediknights original post on CE, and because of this, CE finally believed him.

Response
In response to this, CE user Dardove contacted WGEM News and relayed the information from Jediknight's posts to the news station. The station then forwarded this information to local authorities, who were able to obtain information from his computer linking him to the arson. Jediknight was also banned from the GameFAQs Message Boards for this incident. The incident, now known on CE as "ArCEn", caused GameFAQs and Current Events to be featured in several news reports about the arson.

In a comment on the YouTube clip featuring the original news report of the arson, a user claiming to be Jediknight12345 posted the following:

They just put me in a Detention center for 3 months then sent me to a summer camp for about 4 months. Got out on Oct 27. I have feel a little bad about doing it, because i would be pissed if I lost all my things.

Oh and I'm living a happy life now. I think I'm going to go back to the church people, and say hi.

I'll be posting on CE under the name Control_. I plan to make some youtube videos explaining this whole situation.

It is currently unknown whether this is actually Jediknight.
