Technically not the same thing, but stream is often confused for... well, use your imagination.
A clean-up would be in order first, though

I don't know if I agree with the alias direction or not, but I'll at least do a cleanup by adding creek to stream posts and redirect the ones that shouldn't be there. Since creek is fairly unused, any new posts within the next week or so would come up under stream -creek and can be dealt with easily.
Also: Implicate creek/stream -> water, probably.
Minor: Note that "creek" is used slightly differently in British English than American English.
American: A small to medium-sized natural river that you could probably float a boat through intermittently.
British: An narrow inlet (usually from the sea) that flows into the mainland. It's often rather salty.
The difference probably won't matter much in practice though, and I suspect the American usage is probably more well-known to Brits than the British usage is to Americans anyways (seeing as there's so much land) so it probably wouldn't cause any issues.
Edit: Alright, it's done. Here are my results.

Thankfully, looking at the alias list, you simply typo'd here in the thread... a Creak is a sound.

Dammit. I'm very careful to make sure things like that don't happen in the actual aliases and implications (mine or anyone else's). But a forum post I don't check as thoroughly. Sorry for the heart attack and I fixed the typo in my post so that it won't confuse anyone else.
