Talk:Dun & Bradstreet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A "my first article" page. Mostly on account of looking for information on DUNS in Wikipedia and finding none. So I doc'd the parent company.
The information here is pretty generic. I've got a background in data analysis, and some experience with stock/financial information, but I haven't worked with DUNS specifically or other D&B data much.
Fixes/additions welcomed.

[edit] D & B Number
- Dun and Bradstreet Number
- Dunn and Bradstreet Number
- D&B Number
- D & B Number
I was looking up "D & B Number" and couldn't find it. In case anyone else only knows "D & B Number" may this result in a search.
[edit] Separate page for DUNS
Would anyone ojbect to creating a separate page for DUNS numbers? I am doing some research in how these are used, and I don't think it's necessarily appropriate to put all this information in the Dun & Bradstreet page (since D&B provide lots of other services besides DUNS).

[edit] copyvios on this page?
the beginning paragraph reads like an ad, and actually it seems to have been ripped from D&B's page at http://www.dnb.com/US/about/index.html . Their terms of usa say "No part of the D&B Site may be reproduced, modified, or distributed in any form or manner without the prior written permission of D&B." so I don't think we have the right to do this. Also, the history page of the article seems to have copied the section titles and lots of other things from http://www.dnb.com/us/about/company_story/dnbhistory.html. ouch.
Since lots of stuff was apparently copied without permission from the company's site, I reverted the article and added it to the listing. I believe the user at 204.254.175.249 is trolling. (see their other contributions)
[edit] Methods
If anyone could write a word about D & B methods to get the secret information they get, I'd be interessed in it. The French competitor Kompass' web site explains a bit how they got the information, but I could see nothing like that on D & B's web site. --Henri de Solages 14:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
