Regarding the first issue, user Khruner has detailed the reasons motivating the presence of Xerxes' name in English, ancient Greek, Old Persian and ancient Hebrew on the article. I have previously stated but will address this ad hoc logic again briefly: above 3 users state as the basis of their argument (among derogatory statements) that "Xerxes is not a historical king of Iran" to which I have referred them to any academic source to further educate themselves if really that ill-informed in regard to the topic. The source which would be useful for improving this section would be Bridges, Emma, Imagining Xerxes : ancient perspectives on a Persian king (2015, London : Bloomsbury) Furius (talk) 11:25, 30 March 2016 (UTC) ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7150.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7150.txt
