lensed galaxies as then most distant known galaxies
Later discovered galaxies have claimed the title of most distant known, with lower redshifts than the one claimed for this set of lensed galaxies. Particularly, IOK-1 was commonly accepted to be the most distant, and it had a lower redshift and later discovery than the galaxy stated in this article.

This appears to be using out of date science, as later discoveries would not claim the record as they did not exceed the claim here, but alas, they do. This seems to be similar to the case of Abell 1835 IR1916, which claims a redshift of 10, and was discredited.
