What about meteor? I think the problem with this is gardening. A good cleaning, and then approve my BUR. What do you think about this?

I wouldn't say meteor and shooting star are the same art-wise. They refer to the same physical phenomenon, but in art I would tag shooting star when it's a thin streak of light across the sky and meteor when it's firey rock. Aesthetically they're usually very different. I would say that shooting and falling star are essentially the same though.

I'd tag post #5817087 as meteor. Flaming rocks are falling from the sky. It's ambiguous whether it's technically a celestial body but referring to that sort of magic spell as "meteor" is common enough. I wouldn't tag it as a shooting or falling star.

post #5495587 is on the edge and I think it would be fair to tag both shooting/falling star and meteor shower (although I probably wouldn't tag meteor) but I don't think that applies to most meteor shower posts.
post #5740835 is definitely shooting star and not meteor.

The tag falling star, started to be used by non-English speaking users. That's what I think. Even I made that mistake. shooting star is the correct term.

That's the point, We need to clean up the falling star tag, classifying each of the posts in their respective existing tags with Wiki such as shooting star, meteor, meteor shower and comet.

I agree. Shooting star and falling star are the same and shooting star is the better name. If you were talking about forum #227346 when you said it's a problem of gardening, I agree with that too.

But meteor is different (when talking about art) so I was saying I don't agree with BUR #13606, and I think that's what nonamethanks was saying too.

Yeah, my reply was to the meteor shower implication.
