Wikidata is one of the world's most important data assets. It is used by search engines, virtual assistants, fact checkers, and in over 800 Wikimedia projects. Wikidata contains 1.65 billion statements about over 116 million data items, edited by nearly 25 thousand editors. Manually checking whether Wikidata statements are supported by references is a slow process that does not scale with size. Given the overall number of statements to check, the collaborative nature of Wikidata, and the fact that referenced documents can change over time, preserving the quality of the references is an onerous process requiring continuous intervention. This paper present ProVe – a tool to assist in the automatic verification and assessment of the quality of the references of Wikidata items.
