Yeah I figured it all out in the end, thanks for your help.
How exactly does the /uploads/xthreads_ul/ directory work? Am I right in thinking it creates a new folder based on the local PC hostname of the client which is uploading (or linking via URL) the image? I noticed that there was a subdirectory called 'ts_1457' which doesn't sound familiar (although the ts_ prefix reminds me of Windows RDP hostname schema so maybe that's it... I do all my work over RDP).
So even though I used the URL method rather than direct file upload it seems to have cURL'ed the remote image directly onto my server and generated extra thumbnail files - does this mean that if the original image is deleted from Wikipedia's server then it isn't going to affect my form and the image will continue to display due to it now being stored and referred to locally?
