is it possible to have something like
\rightline{some short text}
\vspace{0.2cm}
\maketitle
without causing \maketitle to start a newpage, i.e. to have a short text placed top right on the title page, using standard article in latex?

Use the »titling« package to customize the title according to your ideas.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titling}
\setlength{\droptitle}{-15mm}
\pretitle{\begin{center}\Huge\bfseries}
\posttitle{\par\end{center}\vskip 0.5em}
\preauthor{%
\begin{center}
\large \lineskip 0.5em%
\scshape
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}%
}
\postauthor{\end{tabular}\par\vspace{-3mm}\end{center}}
\predate{\begin{center}\normalsize}
\postdate{\par\end{center}}
\renewcommand{\maketitlehooka}{
\vspace{-60pt}
\raggedleft
\small
\fbox{Draft: Please Do Not Quote or Cite}%
\vspace{60pt}%
}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
The dual title in twocolumn mode causes the page breaks. Perhaps you'd just be interested in setting the title manually. Below I've taken the \maketitle constructions from the titling package code:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
\begin{document}
\twocolumn[{
\begin{center}
\LARGE First title
\end{center}
\vskip 2em
\begin{center}
\large \lineskip .75em%
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}
Author1, Author2
\end{tabular}\par
\end{center}
\begin{center}
\large \today
\end{center}
\vspace{2\baselineskip}
\begin{center}
\LARGE Second title
\end{center}
\vskip 2em
\begin{center}
\large \lineskip .75em%
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}
Author1, Author2
\end{tabular}\par
\end{center}
\begin{center}
\large \today
\end{center}
}]
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
You can now adjust the spacing and font to your liking.

If you do not want to have to redo the whole formatting of the tilte page by hand, you can use the
titlingpackage. It defines 4 hooks for the\maketitlecommand, so that (extracted from thetitlingdoc), titling's\maketitleis:So you could add to your preamble:
Likewise,
\maketitlehookd, lets you add things at the bottom of the title page. As for\droptitle, it is a length that allows adjustment of the vertical positioning of the title.
