The paper {``An overview of the photometric events, trends and brightenings of $eta$~Carinae}" was published in {sl The Journal of Astronomical Data} 12, 3 (2006).
The conclusion ``If this assumption is correct, it would mean that the mass of the stellar wind envelope is growing linearly, thus, the mass loss rate per orbital cycle was, on the average, constant over at least the last 35,yr" in Sect. 5.7.2 is incorrect
and should be ignored.
