ProveIt is a gadget that makes it easy to find, edit, add and cite references when editing Wikipedia articles. Referencing is a key task at Wikipedia, but the process is often difficult because the citation templates (such as Template:Cite book) are very complex. ProveIt simplifies the process by adding a smart and simple graphical user interface at the moment of editing any article. You deal with the interface, ProveIt deals with the wikitext.
