A field day for Grammar Police

As if the idea of emoticons on Wikipedia wasn't bad enough, this entry has several grammatical errors.  While the headings both demand attention, the submitter chose to focus on the wording of "Anne's brieft history," which refers to Anne Frank being 10 when the Nazis had "tooken" over.  "Tooken" is not a word, it should be "taken."  Take is an irregular verb.
