Hello fam. Help out here...

I'm getting the message "Hmm, didn't get the right template output from ArticleDetail"

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
    context_object_name = 'articles'

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

<ul>
  {% for article in article_list %}
  <li>{{ article.title }}</li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>
articles/templates/articles/article_detail.html 
<h1>{{ article.title }}</h1>
<p>{{ article.author }}</p>
<body>
{{ article.body|linebreaks }}
  </body>

Since you used context_object_name = 'articles' I was able to pass by changing this:

{% for article in article_list %}

to this

{% for article in articles %}
