This is a good example of what was meant, IMHO.

There are interesting cases, though, where multi-selecting items and then acting on them could require using a query parameter. "action=remove", "action=update", "action=validate" or something like that.

When dealing with singular resources - it's much easier to follow the HTTP methods and verbs but I'm still at a loss for how to handle multi-select cases where you can't represent 20,30,100+ items as a single resource in the URI.

This, is only in the case of a user's UI web experience and not an API - because I haven't figured this part out yet, I haven't supported batched actions like this in the API (haven't needed to, but it could be useful?).
