The article states "The history of love padlocks dates back at least 100 years to a melancholic Serbian tale of World War I, with an attribution for the bridge Most Ljubavi (lit. the Bridge of Love) in the spa town of Vrnjačka Banja." If this is true there should sources way before 1999. Like the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s. 1960s, and so on. ~~ Bayoustarwatch ( talk) 18:17, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

– Of the five Google Alerts news stories in my inbox, only one ( [1]) mentions both "love padlocks" and "love locks"; the rest ( [2] [3] [4] [5]) only mention the latter. Also wondering if the title of this article should be singular per WP:PLURAL. I should note that "love lock", but not "love locks", redirects to Lovelock (disambiguation). --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 06:25, 23 August 2013 (UTC) Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 03:41, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
I have looked at every citation and mention of the phenomena and they all lead back to descriptions of the poem in this article http://www.vrnjackabanja.co.rs/srpski/mostpocmeni which does not seem to mention the heartbroken schoolteacher, the bridge, or even locks.
Is this really a published work by Desanka Maksimovic? Can we get someone to translate properly? I think we have a case of circular reference here. 47.18.34.63 ( talk) 00:12, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Love locks can also refer to locks of hair given as a cherished gift to loved ones. It is an old custom but around the turn of the 20th century some women used to cut a piece of their hair to give to their lovers. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 16:23, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
