It's just a simplification, just like 2000 (or 20000) reputation doesn't let you edit locked posts. Or that you only need 100 reputation to freely edit Community Wiki posts. Or the fact that you actually need reputation, 10 to be precise, to answer protected questions.
If it's a good edit and the site has a reasonably active review community, there's not ...

The question is how can I stop someone from making massive changes to a question which I feel are at odds with the original?
Basically you can't prevent the changes to happen.

I partially agree with M--'s answer on this.
If it's a question, don't translate it and close it as unclear. If the OP doesn't know how to speak English, they won't be able to read the answers or respond to requests for clarification.
If it's an answer and something simple like what M-- mentioned ("Try this"), then that's OK. But that's not a quality ...

If anyone is experiencing this error then try any of the following:
Reupload, re-set the image
Format the body section (this worked for me when I removed unnecessary spaces)
If the error persists, answer without the image and upon editing the error disappears.
