Why not stash the message in the query string for the redirect
target? Or a hash key.

Location: /article/why-webarch-matters?msg=created
Then have infrastructure for an `msg` param to cause a message
box to be shown, with the content “Your article was successfully
created” as found under the `created` key of your message
phrasebook (which also gives you a convenient hook for i18n).
It looks a bit crude, but it’s actually a rather good solution in
REST terms. (Eg. intermediaries won’t cache that resource as the
same you can retrieve from /article/why-webarch-matters where the
message box is missing; etc.)
