Recent PHENIX elliptic flow ({nu}{sub 2}) measurements for identified particles produced in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at {radical}S{sub NN} = 200 GeV are presented and compared to other RHIC measurements. They indicate universal scaling of {nu}{sub 2} compatible with partonic collectivity leading to the flow of light, strange and heavy quarks with a common expansion velocity field.
