Workaround
One alternative would be to edit the data using the FGDC editor and not use the ArcGIS Metadata format at all. However, this defeats the purpose for the ArcGIS Metadata Translator tool and for working with the ArcGIS metadata format... The other alternative would be to upgrade metadata, converting from FGDC to ArcGIS Metadata, then make edits, then translate back to FGDC, then re-add the portions of the metadata that were deleted. This is not ideal due to the possible introduction of omission and the fact that it is needless extra work.Steps to Reproduce
