New title

I have given this article a new grammatically correct title, because the noun Partition is denoting a place... the real subject here, and "the Prussian" serves only as an adjective 'describing' word Partition as one of three sectors of partitioned Poland.

Sectors

If as another editor state that 'sector' is used to describe an entity separate from the Commonwealth it should not be used in this or other articles on the three partitions. I've moved the material to the Historiography section of the Partitions of Poland article. I've changed it back to 'acquisition' to match the 'acquired' used earlier.Rsloch (talk) 12:40, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
