I've added some info about Schwab having dyslexia. I'm aware of the fact that this might be libellous stuff and I cited a reliable source (a New York Times article). I didn't link to a URL to the article - it's archived at the Times web site and the full text is only available for a fee. It looks like the article is available at Dyslexia Adults, but I'm not sure if they had permission to reproduce it and I didn't want to link to a copyright violation. -- Jtalledo (talk) 23:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Lobbied against a new electronic system to centralize stock trading which could have allowed investors to find the best prices; because that is not a fact it is just a belief. To say that could allow investors to find the best prices is a bias comment, because if you track decentralization and privatization, centralization always have brought higher prices, regardless of the product that is been traded; centralization stimulates economic agents to exercise market power. Despite those disadvantages, centralization can reduce prices if and only if price controls are imposed in the market; thus Laizzes Fair does not hold.
That is merely a gratuitous insult, or graffiti if you will. I'm going to remove the "ster." Let's see how long it takes some wag to add it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.187.95 ( talk) 02:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
His oldest child is Carrie Schwab, but this article doesn't name her. He only has five children, so that much is correct. 65.123.43.130 ( talk) 16:58, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
The opening and sidebar of this article both show his full name as Charles R. Schwab Jr. How is he a junior? It says his father's name was Lloyd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.198.255 ( talk) 19:03, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. There's a clear consensus not to move this page to the base name, but there's some support for moving the disambiguation page or company to the base name. I'm going to open a new request to discuss these options. ( non-admin closure) Celia Homeford ( talk) 12:52, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Charles R. Schwab → Charles Schwab – What's the point of having Charles Schwab redirect here rather than to Charles Schwab (disambiguation), if it is to be assumed that the person rather than his eponymous company deserves to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC?
Furthermore, the articles about similarly notable business pioneers J. P. Morgan and Walt Disney are about the people rather than their companies. Charles Schwab deserves similar placement for being ranked among the wealthiest people in the world: Schwab is ranked in #148 in the 500-deep Bloomberg Billionaires Index [1] and #54 in the Forbes 400 of 2017 [2].
Regarding WP:COMMONNAME, in more recent years, media have been more receptive to omitting his middle initial.
Furthermore, "Charles R. Schwab" founder has only 15,000 results compared to nearly half a million for "Charles Schwab" founder, indicating that "Charles R. Schwab" is seldom used in that context.
