In the Advanced Editing rules the following line is included:

Members are reminded to hold photographic integrity in the highest regard when both submitting and voting.

I'm curious as to why this line is not in the Basic Editing rules...

Because the basic challenges are supposed to be one, fundamentally unaltered photo (basic changes) and a photo CAN be tremendously changed with the advanced rules so that it barely resembles a photo at all. (Yes, I realize this is possible in the basic rules, but much more likely when you give us dodge/burn/clone to change the essential nature of the shot.

But if the fundamental concept of the site is the same, shouldn't the wording be in both?

I think your right.
This is a digal photography site, not a digital editing site.

Wouldn't hurt to have that sentence included in the Basic rules.

There's no way photographic intergrity can Not be respected with the basic rules. Anything you take a picture of has full photographic integrity until you alter it using techniques only permitted in the advanced rules. That's why it's pointless to write it in the basic rules.

This is totaly wrong. You can simply using levels and curves turn a simple photograph into something totaly unrecognizable. Just because it CAN be done doesn't mean that is SHOULD be done...
