[I found this marked as spam. It appears to have fallen foul of DMARC,
which I know little about.]
I got the name of the dataset wrong, bother. It could confuse a stupid
person that the small scale version is VectorMapDistrict and
VectorMapLocal is not a similar thing at large scale. Apologies, and
thanks for catching it, Phil.
The data I used were from Open Map Local -- I don't have access to the
proprietary data. (I'm pretty careful about copyright, as a free
software veteran, but obviously less careful about checking I have
names right.)
What's the best way to correct the source information in the relevant
changesets? I looked at the wiki advice on sparse editing with JOSM
but failed to get anything out of overpass with the queries I tried.
The source will mainly be on a few changesets, but I may have tagged a
few objects too. The answer is probably of more general interest; e.g.
I found entries sourced from a university campus map which doesn't
currently have a licence and I should correct as much as possible from
remote local knowledge.

Dave,
I attempted to send this to the list yesterday but it
seems to have been blocked for some reason; I thought
it was sufficiently important that I should forward a
copy to you directly.
Please acknowledge.
Regards, Phil.

I don't know about preferred, and it sounds as if you want something
better, but is OS VectorMapLocal any use?
OS VectorMapLocal is not Open Data, and I don't believe you should
be using it for OSM.
There are three Ordnance Survey products with similar names:
Vector Map District is 1:25,000 and is Open Data.
Open Map Local is 1:10,000 and is Open Data.
Vector Map Local is 1:10,000 and is NOT Open Data.
I don't think VectorMapLocal is actually listed on the wiki
I guess there's a reason for that.
Regards, Phil.
