I had contacted the Commons admin who deleted the three files, and I hope
he/she responds quickly, I find it arbitrarily done. I may be wrong, but I
think it needs further consideration since watermarks may reflect the
user's real name which may be totally different from his user account name.

I have a question, for sometime I was wondering
why the Philippines has a
discrepancy on the number on entries and the number of pictures actually
showing up. Until I stumbled upon this:
http://toolserver.org/~superzerocool/wlm/usuario.php?pais=philippines&u…
3 of the user's entries were deleted based on:
EXIF name not the same as uploader
Copyright in watermark is not the uploader name
Watermark suggest copyright - not same name as uploader
I would understand that the user account may not actually reflect the
name
used on the watermarks but this alone would be
discouraging for a
participant.

It's wrong! Damn it's wrong!
Commons administrators can't delete the files based on these criteria,
at least files for WLM. I contacted one of participants with a request
to prove that she was the author of the photo, because I had found the
one in a Belarusian photographer site (and the login there wasn't the
same as in Commons). She edited her profile on that site to prove that
she is the actual author. This is the story.
I know there are obvious situation but administrators at Commons
should think twice before they delete the next photo in the row.
