File talk:St Thomas Anglican Church, Toronto.JPG

Would it be possible to change the name of this file to "St Thomas's Anglican Church, Toronto.JPG"? (i.e. I'm suggesting the addition of an apostrophe and an additional "s")

This would have the result that the file name would be in agreement with the usage of the church and with the Wikipedia article on it. But I'm not sure whether the file name can include an apostrophe, and anyway I don't know how to make the change.

Any thoughts?

St. Thomas does not own this church; rather, it is named in his honor. To be even more pedantic, it is not actually a 'Church,' it is a parish. A parish is a juridical unit of a Diocese, which is a Particular Church. The parish occupies a church building, and can be correctly reffered to as 'The Parish Church of... ,' or 'St. Thomas Parish.'[reply]
