Article about unidentified writer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unidentified writer' is the definition.
'anon' can be an answer for 'writer' (I have seen 'Unknown writer' mean 'anon' so perhaps 'writer' could also mean 'anon'). I am unsure of the 'unidentified' bit.

'article about' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'an'+'on'='ANON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anon that I've seen before include "At another time and with no identity, in short" , "Soon; unnamed" , "Soon, in a little while" , "In the near future" , "Immediately" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
