Django url in DetailView challenge failing

My code seems to be failing the challenge. Possible because of the url for DetailView?

articles/urls.py 
from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.ArticleList.as_view, name='list'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.ArticleDetail.as_view, name='detail')
]
articles/views.py 
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView

from . import models

class ArticleList(ListView):
    model = models.Article


class ArticleDetail(DetailView):
    model = models.Article
articles/templates/articles/article_list.html 
<h1>Articles</h1>

<ul>
</ul>
articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html 
<h1>Article title</h1>
<p>By: Author name</p>

Article body with linebeaks

You forgot some parenthesis on the as_view() method.

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.ArticleList.as_view(), name='list'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.ArticleDetail.as_view(), name='detail')
]

articles/views.py
