Namespaces in the Partner WSDL

In XML, every tag has a defined namespace. In the enterprise.wsdl, namespaces are handled implicitly. When using API calls with the partner WSDL, however, you need to explicitly specify the correct namespaces for API calls, objects, and fields, and faults. This rule applies to predefined and custom objects and fields.
