technical measures
to prevent commits of edits to that page if any of the included images are not
protected with edit=sysop and move=sysop or are not on English Wikipedia;

What "page", are you refering to the English Wikipedia Main Page? You are saying that we should prevent edits to the Main Page if the images on that page are not protected. How does preventing edits on the main page prevent vandalism with images?

Currently, the only vandalism by non-admins that can happen there (the English Wikipedia Main Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) is through images, in one of the following ways:
A. A protected image from Commons is used, but is not copied locally and protected: a vandal uploads a vandalistic image locally.
B. An unprotected image from Commons is used: a vandal uploads a replacement image on Commons.
I would like to prevent both types of vandalism, as that page "has been viewed 167010381 times in the last 30 days." (an average of over 5.5 million hits per day) per http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Main_Page .

Do you have any evidence that this has happened? This is limited to users with the reupload-shared right, which on the English Wikipedia are administrators.

That makes it a dupe of 23133.

Sorry, I think I was relying on old information from before reupload-shared came into effect there.
