Why was my edit reverted because of WP:SYNTH?

There are clearly stated restrictions as to the use of WP:SYNTH. I thought this reversion of my edit adding a citation to political alignment was quite random. Can you elaborate in greater detail what exactly was wrong about my edit that falls under WP:SYNTH @Helper201? I did not use multiple sources as is clearly discouraged in WP:SYNTH, I used one source with a directly relevant quote and author in the citation. As per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources The Conversation is a reliable source. Is there a better source to use that shows consensus among the general population of Guardian Australia's political alignment? That article from The Conversation is the only reliable source I could find from a reliable source. Qwerty123 (they/them) (talk) 05:33, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Qwerty123M. It wasn't in regard to multiple sources. The synth gumline states "Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to state or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source". The claim of "Centre to left-wing" you added wasn't explicitly stated by the source you gave. It said there is a "void at the centre", not that the Guardian Australia is centrist. It also said "(in reporting, at least – its opinions still lean to the left)" which is also not an explicit statement of the Guardian Australia being left-wing as a whole, though it is much more debatable than the former centrist claim.

I interpreted the quote "Notably, this is where The Guardian Australia has positioned itself (in reporting, at least" from the source to imply that Guardian Australia is aligned with the political centre. Qwerty123 (they/them) (talk) 05:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:SYNTH we aren't supposed to "interpret" or "imply" anything from quotes or sources but only use what they explicitly state. Helper201 (talk) 05:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
