Description
When the admin user has the "view" permission for a model but doesn't have the "change" permission, the title of the change view still says "Change [model]", and the title of the change list view still says "Select [model] to change." Since the admin index page displays "View" instead of "Change" on the link to the changelist when the user only has the view permission, it would make sense to change the title of the changelist and change views as well.

Open question: What the titles/headers shoudl be if the user has permission to both view and delete an object? 'Change article' doesn't sound completely correct, but neither does 'View article'.
