Stack Exchange sites take question quality seriously, and many checks are run on the actual websites that can require various user actions be taken. In the API, any "low quality" checks that are triggered cause the write request to fail. This includes situations where a CAPTCHA or guidance text would be displayed on the websites.
This method returns the edited question.
