Python Django Basics Final Details URL tag In list template

cannot get the url to work

Not sure what is wrong. set the url up in a similar manner as the video with the pk coming from Article.

articles/templates/articles/article_list.html
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static from staticfiles %}

{% block static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}">
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
{% for article in articles %}
<a href="{% url 'articles_detail' pk=Article.pk %}">{{ article.headline }}</a>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
