Chart positions
editEnglish Wikipedia does not accept iTunes chart positions for inclusion in chart tables. The guidelines are set out at Wikipedia:Record charts, which deprecates inclusion of charts derived from one retailer. The table on this article has therefore been removed.

Name
editPerhaps worth mentioning that the name 'The Common Linnets' sounds idiotic in English, even if it is the official zoological name of this species of bird. Most English speakers don't know what a linnet is, and 'common' suggests 'coarse', 'socially inferior', rather like 'ordinair' in Dutch (so, if you describe someone as 'common', it isn't a compliment). A typical example of Dutch speakers playing around with a language they don't know as well as they think they do!188.230.248.85 (talk) 17:56, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Wrong person in the photo
editThe left person in the first photo is not Waylon (who is part of the Common Linnets) but a singer who is actually member of Bosshoss. The Common Linnets just collaborated with BossHoss for a few songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.64.168.100 (talk) 10:39, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
Tukkers
editThe name Common Linnets is not from "heikneuters", but from "tukkers". People from Twente are called Tukkers, and the bird kneu (or common linnet) is also sometimes called tukker in "het plat". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickdenuijl (talk • contribs) 19:01, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
