If Vesuva copies a basic land, is it still nonbasic?

EDIT: This is the ruling I've received from judges, always wondered why...

There are already non-basic mountains in the game, such as taiga. There is no reason why making something a mountain would make it basic since there is no connection between the super type basic and the sub type mountain, they just happen to appear together on one card.

is wrong. It stated that you could make a non-basic safe from wasteland by using tidal warrior in response to wasteland.

Seemed wrong to me, but just want to make sure.
