[edit] Antiquated name?

A recent anonymous editor modified the leading sentence to read:

The IND Culver Line is an antiquated name of the rapid transit line of the Template:IND (NYCS) Division of the New York City Subway....

I reverted the change and am responding here in case that editor returns to have another look. The NYCS|WikiProject New York City Subway has adopted the convention of prepending IRT, BMT, or IND to each line, and this convention is used on hundreds of pages. Putting "antiquated" without further explanation on just one of these pages is clearly not going to help the reader. Marc Shepherd 12:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
