The link to the DUNS lookup is broken [1], and the apparent replacement page [2] doesn't provide any apparent way of discovering what the DUN number is of a company. Is there a way? MrRedwood 01:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the part about the Mod 10 check digit because it is now obsolete (since December 2006 DUNS number do not contain a Luhn Algorit Check Digit),it would be good if someone can check the modification an polish the grammar and style since my English may be wasnt up to the task. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.10.219.39 (talk • contribs) 15:28, 21 March 2007.

Free DUNS number lookup

Removed this link as it no longer works: (( https://sellers.fedbid.com/selectVendor.do?startEle=no&startWith=EM&endWith=F&ndx=12 )). Any suitable replacement is acceptable. Eedlee (talk) 15:28, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FEDGOV.DNB.com no longer works without providing detailed identity of the requester. This site seems to be for the purpose of changing (rather than merely looking up) DUNS information, and thus requires added security. Should this be noted in the text? (The sentence that begins with "Alternatively" does seem to describe a lookup process that still works.) Hammertime (talk) 15:46, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit

I made edits for clarity, style, etc., but there's still some awkwardness to the text that I'm not comfortable tackling, because I'm not that familiar with the subject matter. For that reason, I haven't removed the copy-edit flag on the page. Macwhiz (talk) 03:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced allegations

I undid an edit that added unsourced allegations about D&B that were negative. Such information, if true, would need to be well-sourced to be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 15:51, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DUNS for individuals

In a chat discussion with "Nick" of dnb.com, he was asked "Can both my person and my S-corp have a DUNS number?" and he replied "No, we track businesses no individuals." When attempting to acquire a DUNS for my person on their site, I failed. From this evidence, I assert that only businesses may have DUNS numbers.
