It is not a best practice but we should not fight against watermark.
We should inform the uploader about free licence and the fact that one can
remove the watermark
and reupload another picture (please do not overwrite or engage in edit war
for watermarks:p)

Just as a note from the Irish team, when we contact
the winner who has an
image with a watermark, we request that they upload one without. Generally
it is just that people don't understand that it is not best practice on
Commons, and it is just habit that photographers add them.
